Geographic variation in genetic and demographic performance: new insights from an old biogeographical paradigm

S Pironon, G Papuga, J Villellas, AL Angert… - Biological …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Evolution of selfing: recurrent patterns in molecular adaptation

KK Shimizu, T Tsuchimatsu - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Selfing has evolved in animals, fungi, and plants, and since Darwin's pioneering study, it is
considered one of the most frequent evolutionary trends in flowering plants. Generally, the …

Extensive sequence duplication in Arabidopsis revealed by pseudo-heterozygosity

B Jaegle, R Pisupati, LM Soto-Jiménez, R Burns… - Genome Biology, 2023 - Springer
Background It is apparent that genomes harbor much structural variation that is largely
undetected for technical reasons. Such variation can cause artifacts when short-read …

Accumulation of mutational load at the edges of a species range

Y Willi, M Fracassetti, S Zoller… - Molecular biology and …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Why species have geographically restricted distributions is an unresolved question in
ecology and evolutionary biology. Here, we test a new explanation that mutation …

Geographic range size is predicted by plant mating system

D Grossenbacher, R Briscoe Runquist… - Ecology …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Species' geographic ranges vary enormously, and even closest relatives may differ in range
size by several orders of magnitude. With data from hundreds of species spanning 20 …

Do geographic, climatic or historical ranges differentiate the performance of central versus peripheral populations?

S Pironon, J Villellas, WF Morris… - Global Ecology and …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Aim The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) predicts that species performance (genetics,
physiology, morphology, demography) will decline gradually from the centre towards the …

Beyond the thale: comparative genomics and genetics of Arabidopsis relatives

D Koenig, D Weigel - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2015 - nature.com
For decades a small number of model species have rightly occupied a privileged position in
laboratory experiments, but it is becoming increasingly clear that our knowledge of biology is …

Recent speciation associated with range expansion and a shift to self-fertilization in North American Arabidopsis

Y Willi, K Lucek, O Bachmann, N Walden - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
The main processes classically evoked for promoting reproductive isolation and speciation
are geographic separation reducing gene flow among populations, divergent selection, and …

Adaptation across geographic ranges is consistent with strong selection in marginal climates and legacies of range expansion

M Bontrager, T Usui, JA Lee-Yaw, DN Anstett… - …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Every species experiences limits to its geographic distribution. Some evolutionary models
predict that populations at range edges are less well adapted to their local environments …

Is the central‐marginal hypothesis a general rule? Evidence from three distributions of an expanding mangrove species, Avicennia germinans (L.) L

JP Kennedy, RF Preziosi, JK Rowntree… - Molecular …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The central‐marginal hypothesis (CMH) posits that range margins exhibit less genetic
diversity and greater inter‐population genetic differentiation compared to range cores. CMH …
