ARTIFICIAL SELECTION DIVERSIFIES BIRDSONG THROUGH POLYGENIC CHANGES ACROSS SENSORY AND MOTOR SYSTEMS

Małgorzata Anna Gazda, William C Tucker, Paulo Pereira, Pedro Miguel Araújo, Mariel Etchegaray, Larissa B. Patterson, Soraia Barbosa, Raquel O. Vasconcelos, Paulo J. Fonseca, Joel Alves, Sandra Afonso, Marisa Ferreira‐Marques, Margarida Guimares-Moreira, Hanka Venselaar, Erwin van Wijk, , Miguel Carneiro

This study shows that artificial selection in canaries leads to polygenic changes across sensory and motor systems, affecting song diversity and auditory traits.

A zebrafish ribosomopathy links Ddx49-dependent ribosome biogenesis to differential failure of population expansion among pigment cell lineages

Yipeng Liang, Kinga Malezyna, Abigail J Dennis, Abhishek Kumar, Braedan M. McCluskey, Diane S. Sepich, Lilianna Solnica‐Krezel, Arunkumar Dhayalan, Ahmad Jomaa, Larissa B. Patterson, David M. Parichy

This study identifies a zebrafish mutation in ddx49 causing differential cell-type vulnerability in pigment cells due to impaired ribosome biogenesis.

Pigment pattern morphospace of Danio fishes: evolutionary diversification and mutational effects

Braedan M. McCluskey, Yipeng Liang, Victor M. Lewis, Larissa B. Patterson, David M. Parichy

The paper introduces quantitative metrics based on information theory to analyze pigment patterns in Danio fishes, showing they can distinguish pattern types and detect mutation effects.
