Journal ArticleDOI
Plant genotypic diversity predicts community structure and governs an ecosystem process.
Gregory M. Crutsinger,Michael D. Collins,James A. Fordyce,Zachariah Gompert,Chris C. Nice,Nathan J. Sanders +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown experimentally that increasing population genotypic diversity in a dominant old-field plant species, Solidago altissima, determined arthropod diversity and community structure and increased ANPP.

TL;DR: This paper showed that increasing population genotypic diversity in a dominant old-field plant species, Solidago altissima, determined arthropod diversity and community structure and increased ANPP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homoploid hybrid speciation in an extreme habitat.
TL;DR: It is found that the alpine-adapted butterflies in the genus Lycaeides are the product of hybrid speciation, and adaptive traits may allow for persistence in the environmentally extreme alpine habitat and reproductively isolate these populations from their parental species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Admixture and the organization of genetic diversity in a butterfly species complex revealed through common and rare genetic variants.
Zachariah Gompert,Lauren K. Lucas,Lauren K. Lucas,C. Alex Buerkle,Matthew L. Forister,James A. Fordyce,Chris C. Nice +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of admixture and spatial isolation on how biological diversity is organized in a group of Lycaeides butterflies are quantified using DNA sequences and genetic ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic regions with a history of divergent selection affect fitness of hybrids between two butterfly species.
Zachariah Gompert,Lauren K. Lucas,Chris C. Nice,James A. Fordyce,Matthew L. Forister,C. Alex Buerkle +5 more
TL;DR: Genome‐wide DNA sequences and Bayesian models are used to test the hypothesis that loci under divergent selection between two butterfly species also affect fitness in an admixed population, and locus‐specific measures of genetic differentiation were positively associated with extreme genomic introgression.
