Testing the predictions of reinforcement: long-term empirical data from a damselfly mosaic hybrid zone

The paper tests reinforcement predictions in a damselfly hybrid zone, finding strengthened mechanical isolation in one cross direction but not all reinforcement predictions.

Fish as model systems to study epigenetic drivers in human self-domestication and neurodevelopmental cognitive disorders

The paper compares epigenetic changes in fish domestication and human self-domestication, finding shared genes involved in developmental processes and cognitive disorders.

Restricted X chromosome introgression and support for Haldane's rule in hybridizing damselflies

The paper analyzes hybrid zones in damselflies to test hypotheses about sex chromosome divergence and Haldane's rule, finding reduced X chromosome introgression and male underrepresentation in hybrids.

A large chromosomal inversion shapes gene expression in seaweed flies (Coelopa frigida)

This study examines how the Cf-Inv(1) chromosomal inversion in seaweed flies affects gene expression across sexes and life stages, identifying candidate variants that may influence adaptive traits.

Locally-adaptive inversions modulate genetic variation at different geographic scales in a seaweed fly

This study examines how chromosomal inversions influence genetic variation across geographic scales in the seaweed fly, finding they differentiate populations more strongly than collinear regions.

Balancing selection via life-history trade-offs maintains an inversion polymorphism in a seaweed fly

The paper shows that a chromosomal inversion in seaweed flies is maintained by life-history trade-offs and antagonistic pleiotropy, revealing balancing selection mechanisms.

Genetic divergence and phenotypic plasticity contribute to variation in cuticular hydrocarbons in the seaweed fly C. frigida

This study examines genetic and environmental factors influencing cuticular hydrocarbon variation in the seaweed fly C. frigida, revealing their role in sexual signaling and selection.

Domestication and temperature modulate gene expression signatures and growth in the Australasian snapper Chrysophrys auratus

The paper examines how domestication and temperature affect gene expression and growth in Australasian snapper, identifying key pathways involved in development and immune responses.

High-density linkage map and QTLs for growth in snapper (Chrysophrys auratus)

This paper constructs a high-density linkage map and identifies growth QTLs in snapper using SNP data, finding three significant QTLs and candidate genes near them.

Karyotype-environment associations support a role for a chromosomal inversion in local adaptation among North American populations of the seaweed fly Coelopa frigida

The paper investigates a chromosomal inversion in Coelopa frigida, finding it polymorphic in North America and associated with environmental factors and adult size.
