Ecology not genetics explains correlated trait divergence during speciation

C. de Carvalho, N. Planidin, R. Villoutreix, V. Soria-Carrasco, R. Riesch, J. Feder, T. Parchman, J. Slate, Z. Gompert, P. Nosil

This study investigates the mechanisms behind correlated trait divergence during speciation, finding that environmental factors, not genetics, primarily drive the divergence of color patterns and chemical traits in stick insects.

Using genomic prediction to detect microevolutionary change of a quantitative trait

D. C. Hunter, B. Ashraf, C. Berenos, S. E. Johnston, A. J. Wilson, J. G. Pilkington, J. M. Pemberton, J. Slate

This study uses genomic prediction to detect microevolutionary changes in adult body weight of Soay sheep over 35 years, finding an increase in the genetic component despite a decrease in average body weight.

Genomic prediction in the wild: A case study in Soay sheep

B. Ashraf, D. C. Hunter, C. Bérénos, P. A. Ellis, S. E. Johnston, J. G. Pilkington, J. M. Pemberton, J. Slate

This study applies genomic prediction to eight traits in a wild Soay sheep population, showing high accuracy, especially for traits with large-effect loci, and highlights the potential for pedigree-free genetic research in wild populations.
