Mol Ecol
. 2024 Jul;
33(16):e17464.
PMID: 38994885
Adaptive evolution can facilitate species' range expansions across environmentally heterogeneous landscapes. However, serial founder effects can limit the efficacy of selection, and the evolution of increased dispersal during range expansions...

BMC Microbiol
. 2024 Jul;
24(1):247.
PMID: 38971740
Background: Mercury (Hg) is highly toxic and has the potential to cause severe health problems for humans and foraging animals when transported into edible plant parts. Soil rhizobia that form...

Riley A, Grillo M, Epstein B, Tiffin P, Heath K
Mol Ecol
. 2022 Sep;
32(10):2646-2659.
PMID: 36161739
Symbiosis often occurs between partners with distinct life history characteristics and dispersal mechanisms. Many bacterial symbionts have genomes comprising multiple replicons with distinct rates of evolution and horizontal transmission. Such...

Burghardt L, Epstein B, Hoge M, Trujillo D, Tiffin P
Appl Environ Microbiol
. 2022 Jul;
88(15):e0052622.
PMID: 35852362
The environmental context of the nitrogen-fixing mutualism between leguminous plants and rhizobial bacteria varies over space and time. Variation in resource availability, population density, and composition likely affect the ecology...

Epstein B, Burghardt L, Heath K, Grillo M, Kostanecki A, Hamala T, et al.
Mol Ecol
. 2022 Jul;
32(14):3798-3811.
PMID: 35793264
The mutualism between legumes and rhizobia is clearly the product of past coevolution. However, the nature of ongoing evolution between these partners is less clear. To characterize the nature of...

Stahlke A, Epstein B, Barbosa S, Margres M, Patton A, Hendricks S, et al.
Proc Biol Sci
. 2021 May;

PMID: 34034517
Tasmanian devils () are evolving in response to a unique transmissible cancer, devil facial tumour disease (DFTD), first described in 1996. Persistence of wild populations and the recent emergence of...

Mol Ecol
. 2021 Mar;
30(9):1993-2008.
PMID: 33645853
Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation is critical for understanding evolutionary processes and predicting how species will respond to environmental change. Spinner dolphins in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) present...

Epstein B, Tiffin P
Proc Biol Sci
. 2021 Jan;
288(1942):20201804.
PMID: 33402066
Horizontal transfer (HT) alters the repertoire of symbiosis genes in rhizobial genomes and may play an important role in the on-going evolution of the rhizobia-legume symbiosis. To gain insight into...

Fu Z, Meier A, Epstein B, Bergland A, Castillo Carrillo C, Cooper W, et al.
Evol Appl
. 2020 Dec;
13(10):2740-2753.
PMID: 33294020
Changing climate and land-use practices have the potential to bring previously isolated populations of pest insects into new sympatry. This heightens the need to better understand how differing patterns of...

74(7):1392-1408.
PMID: 32445281
Landscape genomics studies focus on identifying candidate genes under selection via spatial variation in abiotic environmental variables, but rarely by biotic factors (i.e., disease). The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is...
