Evidence for natural selection and barrier leakage in candidate loci underlying speciation in wood ants
TL;DR: Haplodiploidy is utilized to identify candidate barrier loci in hybrids between two wood ant species and survival analysis is integrated to directly measure if natural selection is acting at candidate barrier Loci, demonstrating natural selection acting on hybrid genomes in real-time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mystery of mysteries no longer
TL;DR: Coyne and Orr's Speciation provides a unified and authoritative voice and will bring much-needed order and rigor to the current burst of activity in evolutionary biology.

Hybridizing wood ants allow testing for natural selection at candidate barrier loci underlying speciation
Jonna Kulmuni,Pierre Nouhaud,Lucy Pluckrose,Ina Satokangas,Kishor Dhaygude,Roger K. Butlin,Roger K. Butlin +6 more
TL;DR: This work utilizes haplodiploidy to identify candidate barrier loci between two wood ant species and combines survival analysis with SNP genotyping to test for natural selection acting at candidate barriers loci, and finds multiple candidate loci distributed over a large part of the genome displaying signatures of natural selection.

Divergence in Mate Finding Behavior Between Two Subspecies of the Meadow Grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae)
Rachel M. Neems,Roger K. Butlin +1 more
TL;DR: Results of field observations show that the two subspecies of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus do in fact allocate their time differently, with the prediction that male C. p.

Inhibition of plasmin-mediated TAFI activation may affect development but not progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

TL;DR: The formation of intra-mural thrombus is responsible for the dissection and early rupture in the angiotensin II model of AAA, and this process can be prevented through inhibition of TAFI.
