Kocher T, Meisel R, Gamble T, Behrens K, Gammerdinger W
Trends Genet . 2024 Nov; 40(12):1001-1017. PMID: 39505660
The process of sexual development in animals is modulated by a variety of mechanisms. Some species respond to environmental cues, while, in others, sex determination is thought to be controlled...

Cullen P, Gammerdinger W, Ho Sui S, Mazumder A, Sun D
Glia . 2024 May; 72(9):1604-1628. PMID: 38785355
Astrocyte heterogeneity is an increasingly prominent research topic, and studies in the brain have demonstrated substantial variation in astrocyte form and function, both between and within regions. In contrast, retinal...

Gammerdinger W, Conte M, Sandkam B, Penman D, Kocher T
Hydrobiologia . 2022 Jun; 832(1):397-408. PMID: 35665074
The African cichlid radiations have created thousands of new cichlid species with a wide diversity of trophic morphologies, behaviors, sensory systems and pigment patterns. In addition, recent research has uncovered...

Gammerdinger W, Toups M, Vicoso B
Mol Ecol Resour . 2020 Jun; 20(6):1517-1525. PMID: 32543001
Sewall Wright developed F for describing population differentiation and it has since been extended to many novel applications, including the detection of homomorphic sex chromosomes. However, there has been confusion...

Sandkam B, Campello L, OBrien C, Nandamuri S, Gammerdinger W, Conte M, et al.
Mol Biol Evol . 2020 Mar; 37(7):2002-2014. PMID: 32191319
Sensory systems are tuned by selection to maximize organismal fitness in particular environments. This tuning has implications for intraspecies communication, the maintenance of species boundaries, and speciation. Tuning of color...

Yourick M, Sandkam B, Gammerdinger W, Escobar-Camacho D, Nandamuri S, Clark F, et al.
Mol Ecol Resour . 2019 Jul; 19(6):1447-1460. PMID: 31325910
To determine the visual sensitivities of an organism of interest, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is often used to quantify expression of the light-sensitive opsins in the retina. While...

Conte M, Joshi R, Moore E, Nandamuri S, Gammerdinger W, Roberts R, et al.
Gigascience . 2019 Apr; 8(4). PMID: 30942871
Background: African cichlid fishes are well known for their rapid radiations and are a model system for studying evolutionary processes. Here we compare multiple, high-quality, chromosome-scale genome assemblies to elucidate...

Genome Biol Evol . 2019 Mar; 11(4):1033-1044. PMID: 30865260
Males and females of Artemia franciscana, a crustacean commonly used in the aquarium trade, are highly dimorphic. Sex is determined by a pair of ZW chromosomes, but the nature and...

Genes (Basel) . 2018 Oct; 9(10). PMID: 30287777
African cichlids display a remarkable assortment of jaw morphologies, pigmentation patterns, and mating behaviors. In addition to this previously documented diversity, recent studies have documented a rich diversity of sex...
