Journal ArticleDOI
Instability of natural selection at candidate barrier loci underlying speciation in wood ants
Jonna Kulmuni,Pierre Nouhaud,Lucy Pluckrose,Ina Satokangas,Kishor Dhaygude,Roger K. Butlin,Roger K. Butlin +6 more
TL;DR: Instability of the barrier effect and natural selection for introgressed alleles could be due to environment‐dependent selection, emphasizing the need to consider temporal variation in the strength of natural selection and the stability of the barriers effect at putative barrier loci in future speciation work.
Journal ArticleDOI
A developmentally descriptive method for quantifying shape in gastropod shells
Jenny Larsson,Anja M. Westram,Samuel Bengmark,Torbjörn Lundh,Roger K. Butlin,Roger K. Butlin +5 more
TL;DR: A way is developed to infer a set of developmentally descriptive shape parameters based on three-dimensional logarithmic helicospiral growth and using landmarks from two-dimensional shell images as input, using a large set of Littorina saxatilis shells in which locally adapted populations differ in shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outbreeding effects in an inbreeding insect, Cimex lectularius
Toby Fountain,Toby Fountain,Roger K. Butlin,Roger K. Butlin,Klaus Reinhardt,Klaus Reinhardt,Oliver Otti,Oliver Otti +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that outbreeding led to increased starvation resistance compared to inbred families, but this benefit was lost after two generations of outbreeding, and the consequences of these results are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The attractiveness fragment—AFLP analysis of local adaptation and sexual selection in a caeliferan grasshopper, Chorthippus biguttulus
TL;DR: It is concluded that local adaptation has a slight but consistent influence on a range of traits in the authors' study populations, including male acoustic attractiveness, and the ‘population genomics’ approach can be a powerful tool for revealing this structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidimensional divergent selection, local adaptation, and speciation.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors disentangle the core concepts underlying dimensionality as a property of the environment, phenotypes, and genome, and identify a need to separate the overall strength of selection and the number of loci affected from dimensionality per se.
