PARALLEL EVOLUTION OF SEXUAL ISOLATION IN STICKLEBACKS [PDF]
Evolution, 2005 Mechanisms of speciation are not well understood, despite decades of study. Recent work has focused on how natural and sexual selection cause sexual isolation. Here, we investigate the roles of divergent natural and sexual selection in the evolution of sexual isolation between sympatric species of threespine sticklebacks.

Parallel transfer evolution algorithm [PDF]
Applied Soft Computing, 2019 Parallelization of an evolutionary algorithm takes the advantage of modular population division and information exchange among multiple processors. However, existing parallel evolutionary algorithms are rather ad hoc and lack a capability of adapting to diverse problems.

The blackgrass genome reveals patterns of non-parallel evolution of polygenic herbicide resistance. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2023 Globally, weedy plants are a major constraint to sustainable crop production. Much of the success of weeds rests with their ability to rapidly adapt in the face of human-mediated management of agroecosystems.

Range-wide parallel climate-associated genomic clines in Atlantic salmon [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Clinal variation across replicated environmental gradients can reveal evidence of local adaptation, providing insight into the demographic and evolutionary processes that shape intraspecific diversity.

Parallel differential evolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2004 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE Cat. No.04TH8753), 2005 Parallel processing has emerged as a key enabling technology in modern computing. Recent software advances have allowed collections of heterogeneous computers to be used as a concurrent computational resource. In this work we explore how differential evolution can be parallelized, using a ring-network topology, so as to improve both the speed and the ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Herbicide resistance in weeds is one of the greatest challenges in modern food production. The grass species Lolium multiflorum is an excellent model species to investigate evolution under similar selection pressure because populations have repeatedly ...

Molecular reconstruction of recurrent evolutionary switching in olfactory receptor specificity
eLife, 2021 Olfactory receptor repertoires exhibit remarkable functional diversity, but how these proteins have evolved is poorly understood. Through analysis of extant and ancestrally reconstructed drosophilid olfactory receptors from the Ionotropic receptor (Ir ...

Relaxed risk of predation drives parallel evolution of stickleback behavior. [PDF]
Evolution, 2022 The occurrence of similar phenotypes in multiple independent populations derived from common ancestral conditions (viz. parallel evolution) is a testimony of evolution by natural selection.

Frequent origins of traumatic insemination involve convergent shifts in sperm and genital morphology
Evolution Letters, 2022 Traumatic insemination is a mating behavior during which the (sperm) donor uses a traumatic intromittent organ to inject an ejaculate through the epidermis of the (sperm) recipient, thereby frequently circumventing the female genitalia.
