Journal ArticleDOI

The Littorina sequence database (LSD) – an online resource for genomic data

TL;DR: An interactive, searchable expressed sequence tag database for the periwinkle snail Littorina saxatilis, an upcoming model species in evolutionary biology, and allows access to UniProt annotations, blast output, protein family domains (PFAM) and Gene Ontology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential mating success in populations of seaweed flies (Coelopa frigida)

TL;DR: It appears from previous work that large males are more successful in laboratory trials, yet under natural conditions genotypes associated with large male size have low mating success, and ways of reconciling these results and their relevance to understanding the inversion polymorphisms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation in male song and female song preference in the grasshopper Chorthippus brunneus (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

TL;DR: Two experiments using divergent artificial selection were performed to test for the presence of genetic variation in the male signal (mean syllable length of the calling song) and in female preference for that signal and resulted in an immediate and significant response to selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origins of postmating reproductive isolation : testing hypotheses in the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus

TL;DR: The results suggest that although there is only a weak correlation between genetic distance and postmating isolation, long periods of allopatry do lead to postmates isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression clines reveal local adaptation and associated trade-offs at a continental scale.

TL;DR: Underlying genetic and tissue responses at a continental scale that may be responsible for local adaptation in Drosophila subobscura may contribute to understanding population persistence under environmental change.
