Cerda P, Crowe-Riddell J, Goncalves D, Larson D, Duda Jr T, Davis Rabosky A
Toxins (Basel) . 2022 Jul; 14(7). PMID: 35878227
Many venomous animals express toxins that show extraordinary levels of variation both within and among species. In snakes, most studies of venom variation focus on front-fanged species in the families...

Wood A, Duda Jr T
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2021 Apr; 161:107182. PMID: 33892099
Conidae is a hyperdiverse family of marine snails that has many hallmarks of adaptive radiation. Hybridization and introgression may contribute to such instances of rapid diversification by generating novel gene...

Duda Jr T
BMC Ecol Evol . 2021 Jan; 21(1):13. PMID: 33514316
Background: Although mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of many animals tends to mutate at higher rates than nuclear DNA (nuDNA), a recent survey of mutation rates of various animal groups found that...

Polidoro B, Matson C, Ann Ottinger M, Renegar D, Romero I, Schlenk D, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2020 Nov; 763:142986. PMID: 33168243
A fundamental understanding of the impact of petrochemicals and other stressors on marine biodiversity is critical for effective management, restoration, recovery, and mitigation initiatives. As species-specific information on levels of...

Weese D, Duda Jr T
Toxins (Basel) . 2019 May; 11(5). PMID: 31130611
Species interactions are fundamental ecological forces that can have significant impacts on the evolutionary trajectories of species. Nonetheless, the contribution of predator-prey interactions to genetic and phenotypic divergence remains largely...

Lawler A, Duda Jr T
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2017 Feb; 109:421-429. PMID: 28215573
Knowledge concerning the taxonomic diversity of marine organisms is crucial for understanding processes associated with species diversification in geographic areas that are devoid of obvious barriers to dispersal. The marine...

Chang D, Duda Jr T
BMC Evol Biol . 2016 Jan; 16:27. PMID: 26818019
Background: Venomous organisms serve as wonderful systems to study the evolution and expression of genes that are directly associated with prey capture. To evaluate the relationship between venom gene expression...

Chang D, Olenzek A, Duda Jr T
Proc Biol Sci . 2015 Mar; 282(1805). PMID: 25788600
Geographical heterogeneity in the composition of biotic interactions can create a mosaic of selection regimes that may drive the differentiation of phenotypes that operate at the interface of these interactions....

Chang D, Duda Jr T
BMC Evol Biol . 2014 Jun; 14:123. PMID: 24903151
Background: Predatory marine gastropods of the genus Conus exhibit substantial variation in venom composition both within and among species. Apart from mechanisms associated with extensive turnover of gene families and...

Chang D, Duda Jr T
Mol Biol Evol . 2012 Feb; 29(8):2019-29. PMID: 22337864
The origin of novel gene functions through gene duplication, mutation, and natural selection represents one of the mechanisms by which organisms diversify and one of the possible paths leading to...
