Calibrating and documenting host-switching and evolution of incompatibility loci for two closely related Wolbachia clades
J. Dylan Shropshire, William R. Conner, Dan Vanderpool…·Brandon S. Cooper
The paper calibrates Wolbachia molecular evolution using filarial nematode data and shows that wMel-like Wolbachia diverged 2.1x105-2.4x106 years ago, with incompatibility loci evolving rapidly and under function-preserving selection.
