Rivas-Sanchez D, Melo-Florez L, Aragon A, Pardo-Diaz C, Salazar C, Montgomery S, et al.
Evolution
. 2023 Apr;
77(6):1458-1467.
PMID: 37075171
Parallel evolution of morphological traits is widely reported, providing evidence for the role of local conditions in driving adaptive divergence. Comparatively, fewer studies have tested for parallelism in behavior, and...

Hausmann A, Freire M, Alfthan S, Kuo C, Linares M, McMillan O, et al.
J Evol Biol
. 2023 Jan;
36(3):563-578.
PMID: 36702779
Why warning patterns are so diverse is an enduring evolutionary puzzle. Because predators associate particular patterns with unpleasant experiences, an individual's predation risk should decrease as the local density of...

Schuldiner-Harpaz T, Merrill R, Jiggins C
J Evol Biol
. 2022 Oct;
35(11):1537-1547.
PMID: 36196988
Coupling of multiple barriers to gene-flow, such as divergent local adaptation and reproductive isolation, facilitates speciation. However, alleles at loci that contribute to barrier effects can be dissociated by recombination....

Hausmann A, Kuo C, Freire M, Rueda-M N, Linares M, Pardo-Diaz C, et al.
Proc Biol Sci
. 2021 Mar;
288(1947):20210157.
PMID: 33757348
Speciation is facilitated when traits under divergent selection also act as mating cues. Fluctuations in sensory conditions can alter signal perception independently of adaptation to the broader sensory environment, but...

Montgomery S, Rossi M, McMillan W, Merrill R
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2021 Feb;
118(6).
PMID: 33547240
The importance of behavioral evolution during speciation is well established, but we know little about how this is manifest in sensory and neural systems. A handful of studies have linked...

Darragh K, Orteu A, Black D, Byers K, Szczerbowski D, Warren I, et al.
PLoS Biol
. 2021 Jan;
19(1):e3001022.
PMID: 33465061
Plants and insects often use the same compounds for chemical communication, but not much is known about the genetics of convergent evolution of chemical signals. The terpene (E)-β-ocimene is a...

Byers K, Darragh K, Fernanda Garza S, Almeida D, Warren I, Rastas P, et al.
Ecol Evol
. 2021 Jan;
11(1):89-107.
PMID: 33437416
The degree to which loci promoting reproductive isolation cluster in the genome-that is, the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation-can influence the tempo and mode of speciation. Tight linkage between these...

Rossi M, Hausmann A, Thurman T, Montgomery S, Papa R, Jiggins C, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2020 Sep;
11(1):4763.
PMID: 32958765
Many animal species remain separate not because their individuals fail to produce viable hybrids but because they "choose" not to mate. However, we still know very little of the genetic...

Darragh K, Montejo-Kovacevich G, Kozak K, Morrison C, Figueiredo C, Ready J, et al.
Ecol Evol
. 2020 Jun;
10(9):3895-3918.
PMID: 32489619
In many animals, mate choice is important for the maintenance of reproductive isolation between species. Traits important for mate choice and behavioral isolation are predicted to be under strong stabilizing...

Merot C, Debat V, Le Poul Y, Merrill R, Naisbit R, Tholance A, et al.
J Evol Biol
. 2020 Apr;
33(7):942-956.
PMID: 32255231
Hybridization can generate novel phenotypes distinct from those of parental lineages, a phenomenon known as transgressive trait variation. Transgressive phenotypes might negatively or positively affect hybrid fitness, and increase available...
