Newton L, Starrett J, Hendrixson B, Derkarabetian S, Bond J
Mol Ecol . 2020 May; 29(12):2269-2287. PMID: 32452095
Although species delimitation can be highly contentious, the development of reliable methods to accurately ascertain species boundaries is an imperative step in cataloguing and describing Earth's quickly disappearing biodiversity. Spider...

Zookeys . 2018 Jun; (760):1-36. PMID: 29872361
Molecular phylogenetics has transitioned into the phylogenomic era, with data derived from next-generation sequencing technologies allowing unprecedented phylogenetic resolution in all animal groups, including understudied invertebrate taxa. Within the most...

Starrett J, Hayashi C, Derkarabetian S, Hedin M
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2017 Sep; 118:403-413. PMID: 28919504
The relative roles of ecological niche conservatism versus niche divergence in promoting montane speciation remains an important topic in biogeography. Here, our aim was to test whether lineage diversification in...

Gaudry M, Jastroch M, Treberg J, Hofreiter M, Paijmans J, Starrett J, et al.
Sci Adv . 2017 Jul; 3(7):e1602878. PMID: 28706989
Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is essential for nonshivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue and is widely accepted to have played a key thermoregulatory role in small-bodied and neonatal placental...

Starrett J, Derkarabetian S, Hedin M, Bryson Jr R, McCormack J, Faircloth B
Mol Ecol Resour . 2016 Oct; 17(4):812-823. PMID: 27768256
Arachnida is an ancient, diverse and ecologically important animal group that contains a number of species of interest for medical, agricultural and engineering applications. Despite their importance, many aspects of...

Derkarabetian S, Burns M, Starrett J, Hedin M
Mol Ecol . 2016 Aug; 25(18):4611-31. PMID: 27483047
The integration of ecological niche modelling into phylogeographic analyses has allowed for the identification and testing of potential refugia under a hypothesis-based framework, where the expected patterns of higher genetic...

Burns M, Starrett J, Derkarabetian S, Richart C, Cabrero A, Hedin M
Mol Ecol Resour . 2016 Jul; 17(3):418-430. PMID: 27454533
Next-generation sequencing technologies now allow researchers of non-model systems to perform genome-based studies without the requirement of a (often unavailable) closely related genomic reference. We evaluated the role of restriction...

Zookeys . 2016 Feb; (555):11-35. PMID: 26877685
The monotypic genus Cryptomaster Briggs, 1969 was described based on individuals from a single locality in southwestern Oregon. The described species Cryptomaster leviathan Briggs, 1969 was named for its large...

Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2015 Nov; 95:34-45. PMID: 26596502
Previous studies have reported inactivated copies of six enamel-related genes (AMBN, AMEL, AMTN, ENAM, KLK4, MMP20) and one dentin-related gene (DSPP) in one or more toothless vertebrates and/or vertebrates with...

Leavitt D, Starrett J, Westphal M, Hedin M
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2015 May; 91:56-67. PMID: 26025426
We use mitochondrial and multi-locus nuclear DNA sequence data to infer both species boundaries and species relationships within California nemesiid spiders. Higher-level phylogenetic data show that the California radiation is...
