Genetic incompatibilities in reciprocal hybrids between populations of Tigriopus californicus with low to moderate mitochondrial sequence divergence

This study examines mitonuclear incompatibilities in low-divergence populations of Tigriopus californicus, showing that selection for compatibility still occurs despite reduced genetic divergence.

Developmental rate displays effects of inheritance but not of sex in inter-population hybrids of Tigriopus californicus

This study shows that mitonuclear incompatibilities affect developmental rate equally in both sexes of hybrid copepods, and that this trait is heritable across generations.

Differential gene expression and mitonuclear incompatibilities in fast- and slow-developing inter-population Tigriopus californicus hybrids

The paper identifies gene expression differences and mitonuclear incompatibilities in hybrid Tigriopus californicus copepods, linking them to developmental rates and hybrid breakdown.

Phenotypic and transcriptional response of Daphnia pulicaria to the combined effects of temperature and predation

This study examines how temperature and fish predation affect Daphnia pulicaria's physiology and gene expression, finding synergistic interactions between these stressors.

Interactions across life stages and thermal tolerance plasticity in Tigriopus californicus

The study examines how developmental temperatures affect adult thermal tolerance plasticity in Tigriopus californicus and finds mechanistic links between plasticity and local adaptation.

Mitochondrial DNA has strong selective effects across the nuclear genome

This study shows that mitochondrial DNA significantly affects nuclear genome fitness and physiological performance in copepods through coevolved genotypes.
