Poignet M, Johnson Pokorna M, Altmanova M, Majtanova Z, Dedukh D, Albrecht T, et al.
Front Genet . 2021 Dec; 12:768987. PMID: 34938317
Changes in chromosomal structure involving chromosomal rearrangements or copy number variation of specific sequences can play an important role in speciation. Here, we explored the chromosomal structure of two hybridizing...

Zhang L, Reifova R, Halenkova Z, Gompert Z
Genes (Basel) . 2021 Aug; 12(7). PMID: 34356100
Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive isolation is a central issue in the study of speciation. Structural variants (SVs); that is, structural changes in DNA, including inversions, translocations, insertions, deletions,...

Stock M, Dedukh D, Reifova R, Lamatsch D, Starostova Z, Janko K
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2021 Jul; 376(1833):20200103. PMID: 34304588
We review knowledge about the roles of sex chromosomes in vertebrate hybridization and speciation, exploring a gradient of divergences with increasing reproductive isolation (speciation continuum). Under early divergence, well-differentiated sex...

Sottas C, Schmiedova L, Kreisinger J, Albrecht T, Reif J, Osiejuk T, et al.
BMC Ecol Evol . 2021 Mar; 21(1):41. PMID: 33691625
Background: It has been proposed that divergence in the gut microbiota composition between incipient species could contribute to their reproductive isolation. Nevertheless, empirical evidence for the role of gut microbiota...

Albrecht T, Opletalova K, Reif J, Janousek V, Pialek L, Cramer E, et al.
Evolution . 2019 Jan; 73(2):202-213. PMID: 30597549
Postcopulatory sexual selection may promote evolutionary diversification in sperm form, but the contribution of between-species divergence in sperm morphology to the origin of reproductive isolation and speciation remains little understood....
16.
Janousek V, Fischerova J, Morkovsky L, Reif J, Antczak M, Albrecht T, et al.
Heredity (Edinb) . 2018 Oct; 122(5):622-635. PMID: 30374041
The X and Z sex chromosomes play a disproportionately large role in intrinsic postzygotic isolation. The underlying mechanisms of this large X/Z effect are, however, still poorly understood. Here we...

Sottas C, Reif J, Kuczynski L, Reifova R
J Evol Biol . 2018 Apr; 31(6):914-923. PMID: 29603471
Interspecific competition is assumed to play an important role in the ecological differentiation of species and speciation. However, empirical evidence for competition's role in speciation remains surprisingly scarce. Here, we...

Reif J, Reifova R, Skoracka A, Kuczynski L
J Anim Ecol . 2018 Feb; 87(3):774-789. PMID: 29430650
The role of interspecific competition for generating patterns in species' distribution is hotly debated and studies taking into account processes occurring at both large and small spatial scales are almost...

Morkovsky L, Janousek V, Reif J, Ridl J, Paces J, Choleva L, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2018 Jan; 27(4):949-958. PMID: 29319911
Hybrid sterility is a common first step in the evolution of postzygotic reproductive isolation. According to Haldane's Rule, it affects predominantly the heterogametic sex. While the genetic basis of hybrid...

Janko K, Paces J, Wilkinson-Herbots H, Costa R, Roslein J, Drozd P, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2017 Oct; 27(1):248-263. PMID: 28987005
Although sexual reproduction is ubiquitous throughout nature, the molecular machinery behind it has been repeatedly disrupted during evolution, leading to the emergence of asexual lineages in all eukaryotic phyla. Despite...
