Molleman F, Moore M, Halali S, Kodandaramaiah U, Halali D, van Bergen E, et al.
PeerJ
. 2024 Oct;
12:e18295.
PMID: 39430562
Background: Insects often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that matches the environment experienced by adults. Many tropical satyrine butterflies...

Sci Adv
. 2024 May;
10(18):eadj6979.
PMID: 38701204
Nature has devised many ways of producing males and females. Here, we report on a previously undescribed mechanism for Lepidoptera that functions without a female-specific gene. The number of alleles...

Evolution
. 2024 Apr;
78(7):1302-1316.
PMID: 38635459
Phenotypic plasticity can be adaptive in fluctuating environments by providing rapid environment-phenotype matching and this applies particularly in seasonal environments. African Bicyclus butterflies have repeatedly colonized seasonal savannahs from ancestral...

Aduse-Poku K, van Bergen E, Safian S, Collins S, Etienne R, Herrera-Alsina L, et al.
Syst Biol
. 2021 Aug;
71(3):570-588.
PMID: 34363477
Compared to other regions, the drivers of diversification in Africa are poorly understood. We studied a radiation of insects with over 100 species occurring in a wide range of habitats...

Halali S, Halali D, Barlow H, Molleman F, Kodandaramaiah U, Brakefield P, et al.
J Evol Biol
. 2021 Jun;
34(9):1362-1375.
PMID: 34173293
Phenotypic plasticity in heterogeneous environments can provide tight environment-phenotype matching. However, the prerequisite is a reliable environmental cue(s) that enables organisms to use current environmental information to induce the development...

Ecol Lett
. 2020 Oct;
24(1):102-112.
PMID: 33099881
New ecological niches that may arise due to climate change can trigger diversification, but their colonisation often requires adaptations in a suite of life-history traits. We test this hypothesis in...

Brattstrom O, Aduse-Poku K, van Bergen E, French V, Brakefield P
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2020 Oct;
117(44):27474-27480.
PMID: 33093195
Development can bias the independent evolution of traits sharing ontogenetic pathways, making certain evolutionary changes less likely. The eyespots commonly found on butterfly wings each have concentric rings of differing...

J Anim Ecol
. 2020 Jan;
89(5):1230-1241.
PMID: 31955425
Many tropical environments experience cyclical seasonal changes, frequently with pronounced wet and dry seasons, leading to a highly uneven temporal distribution of resources. Short-lived animals inhabiting such environments often show...

Sci Rep
. 2018 Sep;
8(1):14315.
PMID: 30254273
Phenotypic variation is the raw material for selection that is ubiquitous for most traits in natural populations, yet the processes underlying phenotypic evolution or stasis often remain unclear. Here, we...

Genetics
. 2018 Jul;
209(4):949-966.
PMID: 30049818
Phenotypic variation is generated by the processes of development, with some variants arising more readily than others-a phenomenon known as "developmental bias." Developmental bias and natural selection have often been...
