[HTML][HTML] Divergence time shapes gene reuse during repeated adaptation

M Bohutínská, CL Peichel - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2024 - cell.com
When diverse lineages repeatedly adapt to similar environmental challenges, the extent to
which the same genes are involved (gene reuse) varies across systems. We propose that …

Complex evolutionary processes maintain an ancient chromosomal inversion

P Nosil, V Soria-Carrasco… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Genome re-arrangements such as chromosomal inversions are often involved in adaptation.
As such, they experience natural selection, which can erode genetic variation. Thus …

Rethinking eco‐evo studies of gene expression for non‐model organisms in the genomic era

AH Freedman, TB Sackton - Molecular Ecology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Recent advances in genomic technology, including the rapid development of long‐read
sequencing technology and single‐cell RNA‐sequencing methods, are poised to …

Multiple genomic solutions for local adaptation in two closely related species (sheep and goats) facing the same climatic constraints

B Benjelloun, K Leempoel, F Boyer, S Stucki… - Molecular …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The question of how local adaptation takes place remains a fundamental question in
evolutionary biology. The variation of allele frequencies in genes under selection over …

Evolution repeats itself in replicate long-term studies in the wild

P Nosil, CF de Carvalho, R Villoutreix… - Science …, 2024 - science.org
The extent to which evolution is repeatable remains debated. Here, we study changes over
time in the frequency of cryptic color-pattern morphs in 10 replicate long-term field studies of …

[HTML][HTML] Across two continents: The genomic basis of environmental adaptation in house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) from the Americas

YT Gutiérrez-Guerrero, M Phifer-Rixey… - PLoS …, 2024 - journals.plos.org
Replicated clines across environmental gradients can be strong evidence of adaptation.
House mice (Mus musculus domesticus) were introduced to the Americas by European …

[HTML][HTML] Divergent dynamics of sexual and habitat isolation at the transition between stick insect populations and species

P Nosil, Z Gompert, DJ Funk - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
Speciation is often viewed as a continuum along which populations diverge until they
become reproductively-isolated species. However, such divergence may be heterogeneous …

Patterns of genetic variation and local adaptation of a native herbivore to a lethal invasive plant

N Ravikanthachari, RA Steward… - Molecular Ecology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the evolutionary processes that influence fitness is critical to predicting
species' responses to selection. Interactions among evolutionary processes including gene …

DNA methylation differences between stick insect ecotypes

CF de Carvalho, J Slate, R Villoutreix… - Molecular …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, can influence gene regulation and affect
phenotypic variation, raising the possibility that they contribute to ecological adaptation …

Convergent adaptation and ecological speciation result from unique genomic mechanisms in sympatric extremophile fishes

R Greenway, AP Brown, H Camarillo, C Delich… - BioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
Divergent selection along ecological gradients can lead to speciation, and replicated
speciation events occur when populations of multiple lineages undergo divergence …
