Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing Adaptive Radiations Across Space, Time, and Taxa
Rosemary G. Gillespie,Gordon M. Bennett,Luc De Meester,Jeffrey L. Feder,Robert C. Fleischer,Luke J. Harmon,Andrew P. Hendry,Matthew L. Knope,James Mallet,Christopher Martin,Christine E. Parent,Austin H. Patton,Karin S. Pfennig,Daniel Rubinoff,Dolph Schluter,Ole Seehausen,Ole Seehausen,Kerry L. Shaw,Elizabeth A. Stacy,Martin Stervander,James T. Stroud,Catherine E. Wagner,Guinevere O. U. Wogan +22 more
TL;DR: A broad view of what constitutes an adaptive radiation is taken, and commonalities are sought among disparate examples, ranging from plants to invertebrate and vertebrate animals, and remote islands to lakes and continents, to better understand processes shared across adaptive radiations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contemporary demographic reconstruction methods are robust to genome assembly quality: a case study in Tasmanian devils
Austin H. Patton,Mark J. Margres,Mark J. Margres,Amanda R. Stahlke,Sarah A. Hendricks,Kevin Lewallen,Rodrigo Hamede,Manuel Ruiz-Aravena,Oliver A. Ryder,Hamish McCallum,Menna E. Jones,Paul A. Hohenlohe,Andrew Storfer +12 more
TL;DR: These results suggest that genomic methods for reconstructing species’ effective population size histories can be applied to nonmodel organisms without highly contiguous reference genomes, and are capable of detecting independently documented effects of historical geological events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Navigating the Interface Between Landscape Genetics and Landscape Genomics.
TL;DR: This work focuses on genome scan methods for detection of selection, and in particular, outlier differentiation methods and genetic-environment association tests because they are the most widely used.
Journal ArticleDOI
A transmissible cancer shifts from emergence to endemism in Tasmanian devils.
Austin H. Patton,Austin H. Patton,Matthew F. Lawrance,Mark J. Margres,Christopher P. Kozakiewicz,Rodrigo Hamede,Manuel Ruiz-Aravena,Manuel Ruiz-Aravena,David G. Hamilton,Sebastien Comte,Sebastien Comte,Lauren E. Ricci,Lauren E. Ricci,Robyn Taylor,Tanja Stadler,Tanja Stadler,Adam D. Leaché,Hamish McCallum,Hamish McCallum,Menna E. Jones,Paul A. Hohenlohe,Andrew Storfer +21 more
TL;DR: A phylodynamics analysis of devil facial tumor disease (DFTD), a transmissible cancer that has spread across nearly the entire geographic range of Tasmanian devils and threatens the species with extinction, demonstrates that phylodynamics can be applied to virtually any pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genomic basis of tumor regression in Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii)
Mark J. Margres,Manuel Ruiz-Aravena,Rodrigo Hamede,Rodrigo Hamede,Menna E. Jones,Matthew F. Lawrance,Sarah A. Hendricks,Austin H. Patton,Brian W. Davis,Brian W. Davis,Elaine A. Ostrander,Hamish McCallum,Paul A. Hohenlohe,Andrew Storfer +13 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that host immune response is necessary for triggering tumor regression is supported, providing candidate genes that may translate to novel treatments in human and nonhuman cancers.
