Tollis M, Hutchins E, Stapley J, Rupp S, Eckalbar W, Maayan I, et al.
Genome Biol Evol . 2018 Jan; 10(2):489-506. PMID: 29360978
Squamates include all lizards and snakes, and display some of the most diverse and extreme morphological adaptations among vertebrates. However, compared with birds and mammals, relatively few resources exist for...

Carter M, Lind M, Dennis S, Hentley W, Beckerman A
Proc Biol Sci . 2017 Aug; 284(1861). PMID: 28835554
Inducible, anti-predator traits are a classic example of phenotypic plasticity. Their evolutionary dynamics depend on their genetic basis, the historical pattern of predation risk that populations have experienced and current...

Riesch R, Muschick M, Lindtke D, Villoutreix R, Comeault A, Farkas T, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2017 Aug; 1(4):82. PMID: 28812654
Speciation can involve a transition from a few genetic loci that are resistant to gene flow to genome-wide differentiation. However, only limited data exist concerning this transition and the factors...

Lindtke D, Lucek K, Soria-Carrasco V, Villoutreix R, Farkas T, Riesch R, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2017 Aug; 26(22):6189-6205. PMID: 28786544
How polymorphisms are maintained within populations over long periods of time remains debated, because genetic drift and various forms of selection are expected to reduce variation. Here, we study the...

Stapley J, Santure A, Dennis S
Mol Ecol . 2015 Jan; 24(9):2241-52. PMID: 25611725
Rapid adaptation of invasive species to novel habitats has puzzled evolutionary biologists for decades, especially as this often occurs in the face of limited genetic variability. Although some ecological traits...

Dennis S, LeBlanc G, Beckerman A
Oecologia . 2014 Oct; 176(3):625-35. PMID: 25284611
Elucidating the developmental and genetic control of phenotypic plasticity remains a central agenda in evolutionary ecology. Here, we investigate the physiological regulation of phenotypic plasticity induced by another organism, specifically...

Beckerman A, de Roij J, Dennis S, Little T
Ecol Evol . 2014 Jan; 3(15):5119-26. PMID: 24455141
Defenses against predators and parasites offer excellent illustrations of adaptive phenotypic plasticity. Despite vast knowledge about such induced defenses, they have been studied largely in isolation, which is surprising, given...

Beckerman A, Rodgers G, Dennis S
J Anim Ecol . 2010 Jun; 79(5):1069-76. PMID: 20522144
1. Two major theories underpin our understanding of how predation risk shapes life history. The first is centred around predator induced changes in activity that subsequently reduce food intake and...

Cooper P, Dennis S, Woodman J, Cowlings A, Donnelly C
Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol . 2009 Dec; 151(3):298-302. PMID: 20005975
Opioid peptides have been implicated in regulation of feeding in invertebrates. Studies have suggested that receptors for opioids are present in cockroaches and that these receptors play roles in affecting...
