Knief U, Muller I, Stryjewski K, Metzler D, Sorenson M, Wolf J
Mol Biol Evol
. 2024 May;
41(6).
PMID: 38743589
Chromosomal inversions are structural mutations that can play a prominent role in adaptation and speciation. Inversions segregating across species boundaries (trans-species inversions) are often taken as evidence for ancient balancing...

Spottiswoode C, Tong W, Jamie G, Stryjewski K, DaCosta J, Kuras E, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Apr;
119(17):e2121752119.
PMID: 35412865
In coevolutionary arms races, interacting species impose selection on each other, generating reciprocal adaptations and counter adaptations. This process is typically enhanced by genetic recombination and heterozygosity, but these sources...

Evol Appl
. 2021 Jun;
14(6):1646-1658.
PMID: 34178110
Understanding how risk factors affect populations across their annual cycle is a major challenge for conserving migratory birds. For example, disease outbreaks may happen on the breeding grounds, the wintering...

Mapel X, Gyllenhaal E, Modak T, DeCicco L, Naikatini A, Utzurrum R, et al.
Mol Phylogenet Evol
. 2020 Dec;
156:107034.
PMID: 33276120
Islands are separated by natural barriers that prevent gene flow between terrestrial populations and promote allopatric diversification. Birds in the South Pacific are an excellent model to explore the interplay...

Wells C, Lavretsky P, Sorenson M, Peters J, DaCosta J, Turnbull S, et al.
Mol Ecol
. 2019 Nov;
28(24):5203-5216.
PMID: 31736171
Interspecific hybridization is recognized as an important process in the evolutionary dynamics of both speciation and the reversal of speciation. However, our understanding of the spatial and temporal patterns of...

Mol Phylogenet Evol
. 2019 Apr;
136:196-205.
PMID: 30999037
The West Indian avifauna has provided fundamental insights into island biogeography, taxon cycles, and the evolution of avian behavior. Our interpretations, however, should rely on robust hypotheses of evolutionary relationships...

Mol Ecol
. 2019 Apr;
28(10):2594-2609.
PMID: 30941840
Recently evolved species typically share genetic variation across their genomes due to incomplete lineage sorting and/or ongoing gene flow. Given only subtle allele frequency differences at most loci and the...

Stryjewski K, Sorenson M
Nat Ecol Evol
. 2017 Nov;
1(12):1912-1922.
PMID: 29085063
Recent genomic analyses of evolutionary radiations suggest that ancestral or standing genetic variation may facilitate rapid diversification, particularly in cases involving convergence in ecological traits. Likewise, lateral transfer of alleles...

Gomes A, Sorenson M, Cardoso G
Evolution
. 2016 Oct;
70(12):2823-2838.
PMID: 27718251
Although sexual ornamentation mediates reproductive isolation, comparative evidence does not support the hypothesis that stronger sexual selection promotes speciation. Prior analyses have neglected the possibility that decreases in ornamentation may...

Nat Commun
. 2016 Jan;

PMID: 26754355
Maternal inheritance via the female-specific W chromosome was long ago proposed as a potential solution to the evolutionary enigma of co-existing host-specific races (or 'gentes') in avian brood parasites. Here...
