Multiple mechanisms contribute to isolation-by-environment in the redheaded pine sawfly, Neodiprion lecontei

R. K. Bagley, M. N. Hurst, J. Frederick, J. Wolfe, J. W. Terbot, C. J. Frost, C. R. Linnen

This study identifies multiple mechanisms contributing to isolation-by-environment in the redheaded pine sawfly by analyzing host-associated differentiation and ecological barriers.

Speciation in Nearctic oak gall wasps is frequently correlated with changes in host plant, host organ, or both.

A. K. G. Ward, R. K. Bagley, S. P. Egan, G. R. Hood, J. R. Ott, K. M. Prior, S. I. Sheikh, K. L. Weinersmith, L. Zhang, Y. M. Zhang, A. A. Forbes

This study investigates host shifts in Nearctic oak gall wasps and finds frequent shifts between host plants and organs, suggesting host shifts drive speciation in this group.

The impact of life stage and pigment source on the evolution of novel warning signal traits

C. Lindstedt, R. K. Bagley, S. Calhim, M. Jones, C. R. Linnen

The paper shows that novel white alleles in Neodiprion lecontei larvae spread through selection, not genetic drift, due to host plant carotenoid content affecting larval abundance.

DNA, Morphology, and Ecology Resurrect Previously Synonymized Species of North American Stereum and Suggest Extensive Undescribed Global Diversity

S. G. DeLong-Duhon, R. K. Bagley, A. A. Forbes

The paper uses integrative taxonomy to identify cryptic species within the Stereum ostrea complex and reveals widespread taxonomic inconsistency in global Stereum ITS sequences.

Host shifting and host sharing in a genus of specialist flies diversifying alongside their sunflower hosts

A. C. Hippee, M. A. Beer, R. K. Bagley, M. A. Condon, A. Kitchen, E. A. Lisowski, A. L. Norrbom, A. A. Forbes

The paper investigates host sharing among sunflower maggot flies by analyzing genomic data, finding that host shifts may result from hybridization events in sunflower plants rather than traditional host shifts.

Long-distance dispersal, ice sheet dynamics, and mountaintop isolation underlie the genetic structure of glacier ice worms

S. Hotaling, D. H. Shain, S. A. Lang, R. K. Bagley, L. M., D. W. Weisrock, J. L. Kelley

This study uses genome-scale data to show that ice worm populations are genetically distinct due to ice sheet dynamics and long-distance dispersal mediated by birds.

Quantifying the unquantifiable: why Hymenoptera -- not Coleoptera -- is the most speciose animal order

A. A. Forbes, R. K. Bagley, M. A. Beer, A. C. Hippee, H. A. Widmayer

The paper challenges the claim that beetles are the most speciose animal order, arguing that Hymenoptera, particularly parasitoid wasps, are more diverse based on ecological and statistical modeling.
