Divergence time shapes gene reuse during repeated adaptation

M Bohutínská, CL Peichel - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2024 - cell.com
When diverse lineages repeatedly adapt to similar environmental challenges, the extent to
which the same genes are involved (gene reuse) varies across systems. We propose that …

Complex evolutionary processes maintain an ancient chromosomal inversion

P Nosil, V Soria-Carrasco… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Genome re-arrangements such as chromosomal inversions are often involved in adaptation.
As such, they experience natural selection, which can erode genetic variation. Thus …

Integrative analyses of convergent adaptation in sympatric extremophile fishes

R Greenway, R De-Kayne, AP Brown, H Camarillo… - Current Biology, 2024 - cell.com
The evolution of independent lineages along replicated environmental transitions frequently
results in convergent adaptation, yet the degree to which convergence is present across …

Multiple genomic solutions for local adaptation in two closely related species (sheep and goats) facing the same climatic constraints

B Benjelloun, K Leempoel, F Boyer, S Stucki… - Molecular …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The question of how local adaptation takes place remains a fundamental question in
evolutionary biology. The variation of allele frequencies in genes under selection over …

Rethinking eco‐evo studies of gene expression for non‐model organisms in the genomic era

AH Freedman, TB Sackton - Molecular Ecology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Recent advances in genomic technology, including the rapid development of long‐read
sequencing technology and single‐cell RNA‐sequencing methods, are poised to …

Divergence time and environmental similarity predict the strength of morphological convergence in stick and leaf insects

RP Boisseau, S Bradler, DJ Emlen - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2025 - pnas.org
Independent evolution of similar traits in lineages inhabiting similar environments
(convergent or repeated evolution) is often taken as evidence for adaptation by natural …

Evolution repeats itself in replicate long-term studies in the wild

P Nosil, CF de Carvalho, R Villoutreix… - Science …, 2024 - science.org
The extent to which evolution is repeatable remains debated. Here, we study changes over
time in the frequency of cryptic color-pattern morphs in 10 replicate long-term field studies of …

Divergent dynamics of sexual and habitat isolation at the transition between stick insect populations and species

P Nosil, Z Gompert, DJ Funk - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
Speciation is often viewed as a continuum along which populations diverge until they
become reproductively-isolated species. However, such divergence may be heterogeneous …

Patterns of genetic variation and local adaptation of a native herbivore to a lethal invasive plant

N Ravikanthachari, RA Steward… - Molecular Ecology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the evolutionary processes that influence fitness is critical to predicting
species' responses to selection. Interactions among evolutionary processes including gene …

DNA methylation differences between stick insect ecotypes

CF de Carvalho, J Slate, R Villoutreix… - Molecular …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, can influence gene regulation and affect
phenotypic variation, raising the possibility that they contribute to ecological adaptation …
