Assessing the role of pleiotropy in the evolution of animal color and behavior: a meta-analysis of experimental studies

S. N. Ruckman, E. A. Humphrey, L. Muzzey, I. Prantalou, M. Pleasants, K. A. Hughes

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of experimental studies to assess the role of pleiotropy in the evolution of animal color and behavior, finding a positive association between aggression and coloration across species.

A large and diverse autosomal haplotype is associated with sex-linked colour polymorphism in the guppy

J. R. Paris, J. R. Whiting, M. J. Daniel, J. Ferrer Obiol, P. J. Parsons, M. J. van der Zee, C. W. Wheat, K. A. Hughes, B. A. Fraser

The paper identifies a large autosomal haplotype associated with sex-linked color polymorphism in guppies, challenging the traditional view of color genes being on the sex chromosome.

On the genetic architecture of rapidly adapting and convergent life history traits in guppies

J. R. Whiting, J. R. Paris, P. J. Parsons, S. Matthews, Y. Reynoso, K. A. Hughes, D. Reznick, B. A. Fraser

This study investigates the genetic architecture of life history traits in guppies, finding polygenic traits underlie rapid adaptation but may limit genetic convergence across populations.

Cascading indirect genetic effects in a clonal vertebrate

A. M. Makowicz, D. Bierbach, C. Richardson, K. A. Hughes

The paper investigates how indirect genetic effects (IGE) can cascade through social groups in Amazon mollies, influencing behavior even when no genetic variation exists within the group.

Non-parallel transcriptional divergence during parallel adaptation

E. K. Fischer, Y. Song, K. A. Hughes, W. Zhou, K. L. Hoke

This study examines gene expression evolution in Trinidadian guppies during parallel adaptation, finding both plasticity and divergence in transcriptional responses across populations.

Colormesh: A novel method for quantifying variation in complex color patterns

J. J. Valvo, F. H. Rodd, J. D. Aponte, M. Daniel, K. Dwinell, D. Houle, K. A. Hughes

Colormesh quantifies color pattern variation by maintaining continuous color measures across sampling points, avoiding categorical reductions and spatial information loss.
