Experimental evolution of reproductive isolation from a single natural population

S. M. Villa, J. C. Altuna, J. S. Ruff, A. B. Beach, L. I. Mulvey, E. J. Poole, H. E. Campbell, K. P. Johnson, M. D. Shapiro, S. E. Bush, D. H. Clayton

This study shows that experimental evolution of parasite body size over four years leads to reproductive isolation in feather lice by causing size differences that trigger mechanical mating isolation and affect competition.

Host defense triggers rapid adaptive radiation in experimentally evolving parasites

S. E. Bush, S. M. Villa, J. C. Altuna, K. P. Johnson, M. D. Shapiro, D. H. Clayton

This study shows that host defense drives rapid adaptive divergence in experimentally evolving feather lice, leading to heritable color differences across generations.
