1.
VanKuren N, Sheikh S, Fu C, Massardo D, Lu W, Kronforst M
bioRxiv . 2024 Jan; PMID: 38260248
Development requires the coordinated action of many genes across space and time, yet numerous species have evolved the ability to develop multiple discrete, alternate phenotypes. Such polymorphisms are often controlled...
2.
Ward A, Zhang Y, Brown G, Hippee A, Prior K, Rollins S, et al.
Evolution . 2023 Nov; 78(1):174-187. PMID: 37943790
Host shifts to new plant species can drive speciation for plant-feeding insects, but how commonly do host shifts also drive diversification for the parasites of those same insects? Oak gall...

VanKuren N, Doellman M, Sheikh S, Palmer Droguett D, Massardo D, Kronforst M
Mol Biol Evol . 2023 Sep; 40(9). PMID: 37668300
Novel phenotypes are increasingly recognized to have evolved by co-option of conserved genes into new developmental contexts, yet the process by which co-opted genes modify existing developmental programs remains obscure....

Kronforst M, Sheikh S
Cell Rep . 2023 Aug; 42(8):112981. PMID: 37594895
Hanly et al. and Nishida et al. use distinct approaches to provide exceptional lessons regarding the genetic, molecular, morphological, and biochemical bases of butterfly wing pigmentation. These mechanistic insights collectively...

Ward A, Busbee R, Chen R, Davis C, Driscoe A, Egan S, et al.
Zool Stud . 2023 Jan; 61:e57. PMID: 36644628
The identities of most arthropod associates of cynipid-induced oak galls in the western Palearctic are generally known. However, a comprehensive accounting of associates has been performed for only a small...

Ward A, Bagley R, Egan S, Hood G, Ott J, Prior K, et al.
Evolution . 2022 Jul; 76(8):1849-1867. PMID: 35819249
Quantifying the frequency of shifts to new host plants within diverse clades of specialist herbivorous insects is critically important to understand whether and how host shifts contribute to the origin...

Zhang Y, Sheikh S, Ward A, Forbes A, Prior K, Stone G, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2022 Jun; 31(16):4417-4433. PMID: 35762844
Cryptic species diversity is a major challenge regarding the species-rich community of parasitoids attacking oak gall wasps due to a high degree of sexual dimorphism, morphological plasticity, small size and...
