Ecological speciation in the tropics: Insights from comparative genetic studies in Amazonia

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
Evolution creates and sustains biodiversity via adaptive changes in ecologically relevant traits. Ecologically mediated selection contributes to genetic divergence both in the presence or absence of geographic isolation between populations, and is ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

A Genome-wide hybrid incompatibility landscape between Caenorhabditis briggsae and C. nigoni. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2015
Systematic characterization of ẖybrid incompatibility (HI) between related species remains the key to understanding speciation. The genetic basis of HI has been intensively studied in Drosophila species, but remains largely unknown in other species ...

THE GENETICS OF SPECIATION IN THE RODENT GENUSPEROMYSCUS [PDF]

Evolution, 1978
A basic tenet of evolutionary theory is that race formation and speciation occur by the conversion of genetic variation within populations to variation among populations (Lewontin, 1967). Mayr (1963) and Dobzhansky (1959) have argued that a major "genetic revolution" accompanies the formation of species, and Haldane (1957) states, "Good species, even ...

Confinement‐Driven CO Spillover in CuAg@MSN Tandem Catalysts Boosts C2 Selectivity Toward Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The CuAg@MSN catalyst developed in this study promotes C─C coupling by regulating the coverage of *CO intermediates through spatial confinement effects, significantly enhancing the selectivity of CO2 electroreduction for C2 product formation. ABSTRACT Tandem catalysts represent a promising paradigm for synergistic electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR ...

Reproductive isolation arises during laboratory adaptation to a novel hot environment

Genome Biology
Background Reproductive isolation can result from adaptive processes (e.g., ecological speciation and mutation-order speciation) or stochastic processes such as “system drift” model.

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.
