Nice C, Bell K, Gompert Z, Lucas L, Ott J, Tovar R, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2025 Jan; 15(1):e70785. PMID: 39803198
Karst ecosystems often contain extraordinary biodiversity, but the complex underground aquifers of karst regions present challenges for assessing and conserving stygobiont diversity and investigating their evolutionary history. We examined the...

Roush A, Zhang L, Hood G, Ott J, Egan S
Oecologia . 2024 Feb; 204(3):529-542. PMID: 38324065
Understanding the drivers of trade-offs among traits is vital for comprehending the evolution and maintenance of trait variation. Theoretical frameworks propose that evolutionary mechanisms governing trade-offs frequently exhibit a scale-dependent...

Zhang L, Hood G, Ott J, Egan S
J Evol Biol . 2024 Feb; 37(2):248-255. PMID: 38302071
Ecology and geography can play important roles in the evolution of reproductive isolation across the speciation continuum, but few studies address both at the later stages of speciation. This notable...

Ward A, Busbee R, Chen R, Davis C, Driscoe A, Egan S, et al.
Zool Stud . 2023 Jan; 61:e57. PMID: 36644628
The identities of most arthropod associates of cynipid-induced oak galls in the western Palearctic are generally known. However, a comprehensive accounting of associates has been performed for only a small...

Ward A, Bagley R, Egan S, Hood G, Ott J, Prior K, et al.
Evolution . 2022 Jul; 76(8):1849-1867. PMID: 35819249
Quantifying the frequency of shifts to new host plants within diverse clades of specialist herbivorous insects is critically important to understand whether and how host shifts contribute to the origin...

Zhang L, Hood G, Carroo I, Ott J, Egan S
Am Nat . 2021 May; 197(6):732-739. PMID: 33989147
AbstractThe role of divergent selection between alternative environments in promoting reproductive isolation (RI) between lineages is well recognized. However, most studies view each divergent environment as homogenous, thereby overlooking the...

Zhang L, Hood G, Roush A, Shzu S, Comerford M, Ott J, et al.
Evolution . 2020 Dec; 75(2):476-489. PMID: 33330984
Immigrant inviability can contribute to reproductive isolation (RI) during ecological speciation by reducing the survival of immigrants in non-native environments. However, studies that assess the fitness consequence of immigrants moving...

Zhang L, Hood G, Ott J, Egan S
Biol Lett . 2019 Dec; 15(12):20190572. PMID: 31847747
Phenological differences between host plants can promote temporal isolation among host-associated populations of insects with life cycles tightly coupled to plant phenology. Divergence in the timing of spring budbreak between...

Driscoe A, Nice C, Busbee R, Hood G, Egan S, Ott J
Mol Ecol . 2019 Sep; 28(18):4197-4211. PMID: 31478268
Disentangling the processes underlying geographic and environmental patterns of biodiversity challenges biologists as such patterns emerge from eco-evolutionary processes confounded by spatial autocorrelation among sample units. The herbivorous insect, Belonocnema...

Hood G, Zhang L, Hu E, Ott J, Egan S
Evolution . 2019 Jan; 73(3):554-568. PMID: 30667065
All organisms exist within a complex network of interacting species, thus evolutionary change may have reciprocal effects on multiple taxa. Here, we demonstrate "cascading reproductive isolation," whereby ecological differences that...
