Habitat fragmentation and biodiversity: testing for the evolutionary effects
TL;DR: The need for careful testing of phylogeographic data for evidence of concordance between taxa is discussed, with particular reference to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.

Identification of candidate virulence loci in Striga hermonthica, a devastating parasite of African cereal crops
Suo Qiu,James E. Bradley,Peijun Zhang,Roy R. Chaudhuri,Mark Blaxter,Roger K. Butlin,Julie D. Scholes +6 more
TL;DR: The results reveal diverse strategies used by S. hermonthica to overcome different layers of host resistance and the maintenance of variation at virulence loci by balancing selection will be critical to managing the evolution of virulence as a part of a sustainable control strategy.

Conflict between heterozygote advantage and hybrid incompatibility in haplodiploids (and sex chromosomes)
TL;DR: A mathematical model with hybrid incompatibility, female heterozygote advantage, recombination, and assortative mating is developed that finds various outcomes in haplodiploids in which the population stabilizes either in favor of males, females, or via maximizing the number of introgressed individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-modern synthesis
TL;DR: A comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the diverse and dynamic field of evolutionary genetics is a tall order and there are few, if any, individuals with the breadth of knowledge to do so effectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptomic resources for evolutionary studies in flat periwinkles and related species
João P. Marques,João P. Marques,Graciela Sotelo,Juan Galindo,Pragya Chaube,Diana Soares da Costa,Sandra Afonso,Marina Panova,Katja Nowick,Roger K. Butlin,Roger K. Butlin,Johan Hollander,Johan Hollander,Rui Faria,Rui Faria +14 more
TL;DR: RNA-seq data was used to characterize the transcriptome of four individuals from each species sampled in different locations across the Iberian Peninsula, resulting in an accurate classification of individuals into each species and in the identification of hybrids between the two.
