Genetics of climate change adaptation
SJ Franks, AA Hoffmann - Annual review of genetics, 2012 - annualreviews.org
The rapid rate of current global climate change is having strong effects on many species
and, at least in some cases, is driving evolution, particularly when changes in conditions …

Association mapping desiccation resistance within chromosomal inversions in the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae
Inversion polymorphisms are responsible for many ecologically important phenotypes and
are often found under balancing selection. However, the same features that ensure their …

Reproductive isolation and local adaptation quantified for a chromosome inversion in a malaria mosquito
Chromosome inversions have long been thought to be involved in speciation and local
adaptation. We have little quantitative information, however, about the effects that inversion …

Adaptation to Aridity in the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae: Chromosomal Inversion Polymorphism and Body Size Influence Resistance to Desiccation
Chromosomal inversions are thought to confer a selective advantage in alternative habitats
by protecting co-adapted alleles from recombination. The frequencies of two inversions (2L …

Molecular evolution and the decline of purifying selection with age
C Cheng, M Kirkpatrick - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Life history theory predicts that the intensity of selection declines with age, and this trend
should impact how genes expressed at different ages evolve. Here we find consistent …
