Transcriptomic Profiles of Long Noncoding RNAs and Their Target Protein-Coding Genes Reveals Speciation Adaptation on the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau in Orinus [PDF]

Biology
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules longer than 200 nt, which lack the ability to encode proteins and are involved in multifarious growth, development, and regulatory processes in plants and mammals.

The Role of Interspecific Hybridisation in Adaptation and Speciation: Insights From Studies in Senecio

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Hybridisation is well documented in many species, especially plants. Although hybrid populations might be short-lived and do not evolve into new lineages, hybridisaiton could lead to evolutionary novelty, promoting adaptation and speciation.

Transcription factors in Orinus: novel insights into transcription regulation for speciation adaptation on the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol
Transcription factors (TFs) are crucial regulators of plant growth, development, and resistance to environmental stresses. However, comprehensive understanding of the roles of TFs in speciation of Orinus, an extreme-habitat plant on the Qinghai-Xizang ...

Loss of ecologically important genetic variation in late generation hybrids reveals links between adaptation and speciation

Evolution Letters, 2020
Adaptation to contrasting environments occurs when advantageous alleles accumulate in each population, but it remains largely unknown whether these same advantageous alleles create genetic incompatibilities that can cause intrinsic reproductive isolation

Selection and environmental adaptation along a path to speciation in the Tibetan frog Nanorana parkeri. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Tibetan frogs, Nanorana parkeri, are differentiated genetically but not morphologically along geographical and elevational gradients in a challenging environment, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate processes leading to speciation. Analyses of

Host-plant adaptation as a driver of incipient speciation in the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Divergent selection on host-plants is one of the main evolutionary forces driving ecological speciation in phytophagous insects. The ecological speciation might be challenging in the presence of gene flow and assortative mating because the ...

Parallel changes in gut microbiome composition and function during colonization, local adaptation and ecological speciation

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
The processes of local adaptation and ecological speciation are often strongly shaped by biotic interactions such as competition and predation. One of the strongest lines of evidence that biotic interactions drive evolution comes from the repeated ...

Ancient and recent introgression shape the evolutionary history of pollinator adaptation and speciation in a model monkeyflower radiation (Mimulus section Erythranthe).

PLoS Genetics, 2021
Inferences about past processes of adaptation and speciation require a gene-scale and genome-wide understanding of the evolutionary history of diverging taxa.
