Journal ArticleDOI

Patrick P. Edger,Patrick P. Edger,Patrick P. Edger,Hanna M. Heidel-Fischer,Michaël Bekaert,Jadranka Rota,Gernot Glöckner,Gernot Glöckner,Adrian E. Platts,David G. Heckel,Joshua P. Der,Joshua P. Der,Eric K. Wafula,Michelle Tang,Johannes A. Hofberger,Ann Smithson,Jocelyn C. Hall,Matthieu Blanchette,Thomas E. Bureau,Stephen I. Wright,Claude W. dePamphilis,M. Eric Schranz,Michael S. Barker,Gavin C. Conant,Niklas Wahlberg,Heiko Vogel,J. Chris Pires,Christopher W. Wheat +27 more
TL;DR: The coevolutionary interactions between plants and butterflies are examined, and evidence for an escalating evolutionary arms-race is uncovered, providing an important connection between the origins of biodiversity, coev evolution, and the role of gene and genome duplications as a substrate for novel traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considering adaptive genetic variation in climate change vulnerability assessment reduces species range loss projections
Orly Razgour,Orly Razgour,Brenna R. Forester,John B. Taggart,Michaël Bekaert,Javier Juste,Carlos F. Ibáñez,Sébastien J. Puechmaille,Sébastien J. Puechmaille,Roberto Novella-Fernandez,Antton Alberdi,Stéphanie Manel +11 more
TL;DR: An approach to assess the impacts of global climate change on biodiversity that takes into account adaptive genetic variation and evolutionary potential is presented, showing that considering local climatic adaptations reduces range loss projections but increases the potential for competition between species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological adaptation determines functional mammalian olfactory subgenomes
Sara Hayden,Michaël Bekaert,Tess A. Crider,Stefano Mariani,William J. Murphy,Emma C. Teeling +5 more
TL;DR: Functional OR gene repertoires were reduced independently in the multiple origins of aquatic mammals and were significantly divergent in bats, rejecting recent neutralist views of olfactory subgenome evolution and correlate specific OR gene families with physiological requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of a high density SNP genotyping array for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Ross D. Houston,John B. Taggart,Timothe Cezard,Michaël Bekaert,Natalie R Lowe,Alison Downing,Richard Talbot,Stephen Bishop,Alan Archibald,James E. Bron,David J. Penman,Alessandro Davassi,Fiona Brew,A. E. Tinch,Karim Gharbi,Alastair Hamilton +15 more
TL;DR: This manuscript describes the first high-density SNP genotyping array for Atlantic salmon, likely to be used as a platform for high-resolution genetics research into traits of evolutionary and economic importance in salmonids and in aquaculture breeding programs via genomic selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping and validation of the major sex-determining region in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) Using RAD sequencing.
Christos Palaiokostas,Michaël Bekaert,Mohd Golam Quader Khan,Mohd Golam Quader Khan,John B. Taggart,Karim Gharbi,Brendan McAndrew,David J. Penman +7 more
TL;DR: This study narrows down the region containing the main sex-determining region, and provides genetic markers tightly linked to this locus, with an association that persisted across the population.
