Phenotypic Divergence and Genomic Architecture Between Parallel Ecotypes at Two Different Points on the Speciation Continuum in a Marine Snail

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Speciation is rarely observable directly. A way forward is to compare pairs of ecotypes that evolved in parallel in similar contexts but have reached different degrees of reproductive isolation. Such comparisons are possible in the marine snail Littorina saxatilis by contrasting barriers to gene flow between parallel ecotypes in Spain and ...

Ecological and Mutation‐Order Speciation in Senecio

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural selection shapes how new species arise, yet the mechanisms that generate reproductive barriers remain actively debated. Although ecological divergence in contrasting environments and mutation‐order processes in similar environments are often viewed as distinct speciation mechanisms, we show they can occur simultaneously and act as part

Land snails benefit from human alterations in rural landscapes and habitats

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
Metapopulation functioning in the context of landscape and habitat structure is generally well understood. However, in human‐transformed landscapes, human disturbance may affect not only a species of interest but also biotic interactions in which that ...

Gene Expression Associated With Behaviour Manipulation in Wood Ants Infected With Larval Lancet Fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many ant species show dramatic shifts in behaviour when infected with parasites, but the molecular basis of these behavioural changes is not well understood. An example is the wood ant, Formica aserva, which serves as an intermediate host for the lancet liver fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum.

A Tale of Two Shrimps—Speciation and Demography of Two Sympatric Shrimp Species From Hydrothermal Vents

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrothermal vents can serve as natural laboratories to study speciation processes due to their fragmented distribution, often with geographic barriers between habitats. Two sympatric species of Rimicaris shrimps occur at vents on the Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana volcanic arc: Rimicaris loihi also occurs near Hawai’i and R.

Biochemical and Histological Alterations in the Digestive Gland of the Land Snail Helicella vestalis (Locard, 1882) Exposed to Methiocarb andChlorpyrifos in the Laboratory

open access: yes, 2015
This study investigated the impact of two pesticides namely: Methiocarb and Chlorpyrifos against the biochemical and histological aspects of the helicid land snail, Helicella vestalis at Sharkia Governorate, Egypt.
