Journal ArticleDOI
Inter and Intraspecific Genomic Divergence in Drosophila montana Shows Evidence for Cold Adaptation.
Darren J. Parker,Darren J. Parker,Darren J. Parker,R. Axel W. Wiberg,Urmi Trivedi,Venera Tyukmaeva,Karim Gharbi,Karim Gharbi,Roger K. Butlin,Roger K. Butlin,Anneli Hoikkala,Maaria Kankare,Michael G. Ritchie +12 more
TL;DR: The genome of Drosophila montana is described and about 250 genes that show differences are identified, possibly driven by a lower synonymous substitution rate in cold-adapted species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in cuticular hydrocarbons across a hybrid zone in the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus
Rachel M. Neems,Roger K. Butlin +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that cuticular hydrocarbon composition differs between the sexes and that a narrow cline for Cuticular hydrocarbons separates the subspecies of the meadow grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread hybridization within mound‐building wood ants in Southern Finland results in cytonuclear mismatches and potential for sex‐specific hybrid breakdown
J. Beresford,J. Beresford,Marianne Elias,L. Pluckrose,Liselotte Sundström,Roger K. Butlin,Roger K. Butlin,Pekka Pamilo,Jonna Kulmuni +8 more
TL;DR: A population of wood ant hybrids between Formica aquilonia and F. polyctena is investigated and a new hybrid locality with strong genetic differences between the sexes similar to those predicted under antagonistic selection on male and female hybrids is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and morphological phylogeny of the ancient asexual Darwinulidae (Crustacea, Ostracoda)
TL;DR: An approximate molecular clock indicates that the extant darwinulids share a common ancestor, which lived at least 100 million years ago, and results thus confirm that the five genera recognised by Rossetti & Martens (1998) are good phyletic units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulling together or pulling apart: hybridization in theory and practice
TL;DR: The Commentaries assembled here suggest that any new paradigm recognising the near ubiquitous occurrence of hybridisation in animal and plant speciation is widely accepted, however, opinions vary much more widely as to its impact and potential role in the process of speciation.
