Causes and Consequences of Recombination Rate Variation in Drosophila
(2011)Recombination occurs during meiosis to produce new allelic combinations in natural populations, and thus strongly affects evolutionary processes. The model system Drosophila has been crucial for understanding the mechanics ... -
Integrating genetics, geography, and local adaptation to understand ecotype formation in the yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus
(2010)Speciation is a constantly ongoing process whereby reproductive isolating baririer build up over time until groups of organisms can no longer exchange genes with each other. Adaptation is thought to play a major role in ... -
The Genetic Architecture of Hybrid Male Sterility in the Drosophila Pseudoobscura Species Group
(2009)Biodiversity is generated by the process of speciation. Because biological species are defined as populations that are unable to exchange genes with one another, the study of the evolution of reproductive isolation occupies ... -
The genomic consequences of adaptive divergence and reproductive isolation between species of manakins.
(Mol Ecol, 2013-06)The processes of adaptation and speciation are expected to shape genomic variation within and between diverging species. Here we analyze genomic heterogeneity of genetic differentiation and introgression in a hybrid zone ...
