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.

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.

Conserved patterns of alternative splicing in response to cold acclimation in fish

The paper examines qualitative gene expression changes, specifically alternative splicing, in response to cold acclimation in three fish species and identifies conserved splicing patterns across them.

Genome-wide selection scans integrated with association mapping reveal mechanisms of physiological adaptation across a salinity gradient in killifish

The paper integrates genome-wide association studies and selection scans to identify genes underlying physiological adaptation to salinity in killifish, revealing overlap between selected regions and trait-associated loci.
