Urban Life Shapes Genetic Diversity in the Green Anole, Anolis carolinensis

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation presents unique environmental pressures that drive rapid evolutionary adaptations, particularly in species inhabiting fragmented and anthropogenised landscapes. In this study, we investigate the genomic differentiation between urban and non‐urban populations of Anolis carolinensis, focusing on two main aspects: (1) the effect of ...

Sex‐Dependent Influence of Major Histocompatibility Complex Diversity on Fitness in a Social Mammal

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasite infections affect males and females differently across a wide range of species, often due to differences in immune responses. Generally, females tend to have stronger immune defences and lower parasite loads than males. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a crucial role in the adaptive immune response, and extensive ...

Biogeography and Social Family Structure Contribute to Cryptic Genomic Divergence in the Only Obligate Eusocial Beetle Species, Austroplatypus incompertus (Curculionidae: Platypodinae)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eusociality in insects has arisen multiple times independently in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants), Blattodea (termites) and Coleoptera (beetles). In Hymenoptera and Blattodea, the evolution of eusociality led to species proliferation. In the hyperdiverse Coleoptera, obligate eusociality evolved only once, in the ancient Australian ambrosia ...

Coexistence in Sympatry With Gene Flow Before Speciation Has Completed

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incipient species often coexist in sympatry before complete reproductive isolation has evolved between them. How do they persist in the face of hybridization and gene flow? The challenge is more acute than ordinary ecological coexistence not only because gene flow erodes and recombines genetic differences, but also because selection against ...

Genetic Assessment of the Spinner Dolphin (Stenella longirostris) in the Largest Offshore Sedimentary Basin in Brazil

Marine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assessing the genetic diversity of a population is critical to evaluate its resilience in the face of anthropogenic impacts. This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity and structure of the spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) that inhabit the Santos Basin (SB), south and southeast Brazil.
