Coupling of barriers to gene exchange: causes and consequences
Coupling has emerged as a concept to describe the transition from differentiated
populations to newly evolved species through the strengthening of reproductive isolation …

Replicated evolution in plants
Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

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 …
