Polato N, Gill B, Shah A, Gray M, Casner K, Barthelet A, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2018 Nov;
115(49):12471-12476.
PMID: 30397141
Species richness is greatest in the tropics, and much of this diversity is concentrated in mountains. Janzen proposed that reduced seasonal temperature variation selects for narrower thermal tolerances and limited...

Funk W, Lovich R, Hohenlohe P, Hofman C, Morrison S, Sillett T, et al.
Mol Ecol
. 2016 Mar;
25(10):2176-94.
PMID: 26992010
The evolutionary mechanisms generating the tremendous biodiversity of islands have long fascinated evolutionary biologists. Genetic drift and divergent selection are predicted to be strong on islands and both could drive...

Polato N, Altman N, Baums I
Mol Ecol
. 2013 Jan;
22(5):1366-82.
PMID: 23331636
Coral populations have declined worldwide largely due to increased sea surface temperatures. Recovery of coral populations depends in part upon larval recruitment. Many corals reproduce during the warmest time of...

Baums I, Boulay J, Polato N, Hellberg M
Mol Ecol
. 2012 Sep;
21(22):5418-33.
PMID: 22943626
The expanse of deep water between the central Pacific islands and the continental shelf of the Eastern Tropical Pacific is regarded as the world's most potent marine biogeographic barrier. During...

Gene discovery in the threatened elkhorn coral: 454 sequencing of the Acropora palmata transcriptome
Polato N, Vera J, Baums I
PLoS One
. 2012 Jan;
6(12):e28634.
PMID: 22216101
Background: Cnidarians, including corals and anemones, offer unique insights into metazoan evolution because they harbor genetic similarities with vertebrates beyond that found in model invertebrates and retain genes known only...

Polato N, Concepcion G, Toonen R, Baums I
Mol Ecol
. 2010 Oct;
19(21):4661-77.
PMID: 20887361
There is an ongoing debate on the scale of pelagic larval dispersal in promoting connectivity among populations of shallow, benthic marine organisms. The linearly arranged Hawaiian Islands are uniquely suited...

Polato N, Voolstra C, Schnetzer J, DeSalvo M, Randall C, Szmant A, et al.
PLoS One
. 2010 Jun;
5(6):e11221.
PMID: 20585643
Background: The potential to adapt to a changing climate depends in part upon the standing genetic variation present in wild populations. In corals, the dispersive larval phase is particularly vulnerable...

Mather K, Caicedo A, Polato N, Olsen K, McCouch S, Purugganan M
Genetics
. 2007 Oct;
177(4):2223-32.
PMID: 17947413
Despite its status as one of the world's major crops, linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns have not been systematically characterized across the genome of Asian rice (Oryza sativa). Such information is...

Caicedo A, Williamson S, Hernandez R, Boyko A, Fledel-Alon A, York T, et al.
PLoS Genet
. 2007 Oct;
3(9):1745-56.
PMID: 17907810
Domesticated Asian rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the oldest domesticated crop species in the world, having fed more people than any other plant in human history. We report the...
