The paper analyzes the structure and evolution of a selfish centromere in monkeyflowers, identifying genomic expansions and gene content differences that may contribute to meiotic drive.

The paper identifies two novel QTLs associated with extreme flowering time variation in Yellowstone monkeyflowers, linking them to environmental factors like soil temperature.

The study examines genetic diversity in an alpine plant during post-glacial range expansion and finds no decrease in genetic diversity, suggesting dispersal limitation is not a major factor in colonization dynamics.

This study maps QTLs for floral traits in Mimulus species to reveal a polygenic and modular genetic architecture underlying pollination syndrome divergence.

This study maps genetic causes of hybrid incompatibility in monkeyflowers across generations, identifying structural and genic incompatibilities that reduce hybrid viability.

The paper develops a statistical method to detect genomic structural variation using genetic mapping data from Mimulus guttatus crosses, correcting reference genome errors and identifying chromosomal inversions.

The paper identifies a segregating inversion in Mimulus guttatus that has mixed fitness effects, contributing to genetic variation and inbreeding depression.
