Admixture Mapping Reveals Evidence for Multiple Mitonuclear Incompatibilities in Swordtail Fish Hybrids

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How barriers to gene flow arise between closely related species is one of the oldest questions in evolutionary biology. Classic models in evolutionary biology predict that negative epistatic interactions between variants in the genomes of diverged lineages, known as hybrid incompatibilities, will reduce viability or fertility in hybrids.

Reproductive Isolation due to Divergent Ecological Selection Is Accompanied by Vast Genomic Instability in Experimentally Evolved Yeast Populations

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Populations evolving independently in divergent environments accumulate genetic differences and potentially evolve reproductive isolation as a by‐product of divergence. The speed and mechanisms underlying this process are difficult to investigate because we rarely get the opportunity to witness them in natural settings, and histories of ...

Epigenetic Potential and Dispersal Propensity in a Free‐Living Songbird: A Spatial and Temporal Approach

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natal dispersal is a key life history trait determining fitness and driving population dynamics, genetic structure, and species distributions. Despite existing evidence that not all phenotypes are equally likely to successfully establish in new areas, the mechanistic underpinnings of natal dispersal remain poorly understood.
