Repeated Alpine Flight Loss Within the Widespread New Zealand Stonefly Nesoperla fulvescens Hare (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae)
Flight loss is a common feature of upland insect assemblages, with recent studies detecting
parallel wing reduction events across independent alpine lineages. However, the …

Do insects lose flight before they lose their wings? Population genetic structure in subalpine stoneflies
Wing reduction and flightlessness are common features of alpine and subalpine insects, and
are typically interpreted as evolutionary adaptations to increase fecundity and promote local …

Genomics reveals widespread ecological speciation in flightless insects
Recent genomic analyses have highlighted parallel divergence in response to ecological
gradients, but the extent to which altitude can underpin such repeated speciation remains …

Genome-wide SNPs reveal fine-scale differentiation among wingless alpine stonefly populations and introgression between winged and wingless forms
Insect flight loss is a repeated phenomenon in alpine habitats, where wing reduction is
thought to enhance local recruitment and increase fecundity. One predicted consequence of …

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of a wing-dimorphic stonefly reveals candidate wing loss genes
Background The genetic basis of wing development has been well characterised for model
insect species, but remains poorly understood in phylogenetically divergent, non-model …

Anthropogenic evolution in an insect wing polymorphism following widespread deforestation
Anthropogenic environmental change can underpin major shifts in natural selective regimes,
and can thus alter the evolutionary trajectories of wild populations. However, little is known …
