Characterizing neutral and adaptive genomic differentiation in a changing climate: The most northerly freshwater fish as a model
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4891
Abstract: Abstract Arctic freshwater ecosystems have been profoundly affected by climate change. Given that the Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is often the only fish species inhabiting these ecosystems, it represents a valuable model for studying the… read more here.

Variation in egg size and offspring phenotype among and within seven Arctic charr morphs

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9427
Abstract: Abstract Maternal effects have the potential to alter early developmental processes of offspring and contribute to adaptive diversification. Egg size is a major contributor to offspring phenotype, which can influence developmental trajectories and potential resource… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9537
Abstract: Abstract In numerous clades, divergent sister species have largely non‐overlapping geographic ranges. This pattern presumably arises because species diverged in allopatry or parapatry, prior to a subsequent contact. Here, we provide population‐genomic evidence for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00114-022-01794-w
Abstract: Melanism is a polymorphic phenotype caused by the number and density of melanocyte cells producing melanin pigment in the skin and widely observed in snakes. The frequency of this coloration in populations is associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-019-3969-9
Abstract: Parallelism in trophic niches of polymorphic populations of Arctic charr was investigated in two similar subarctic lakes, Tårnvatn and Skøvatn, in northern Norway. Analysis of eleven microsatellite loci confirmed, respectively, the existence of three and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.1c00089
Abstract: Diaphorina citri is a vector of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), associated with citrus greening disease. D. citri exhibit at least two color morphotypes, blue and non-blue, the latter including gray and yellow morphs. Blue morphs… read more here.

Examining the Polymorphic Nature of Flower Color in a Drakensberg Near-Endemic Species, Rhodohypoxis baurii (Baker) Nel. var. confecta Hilliard & Burtt
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "International Journal of Plant Sciences"
DOI: 10.1086/705585
Abstract: Premise of research. Flower color polymorphisms provide a type of variability from which floral evolution can occur. Identifying factors that facilitate such variability within populations is a necessary first step to developing floral evolution hypotheses. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arab133
Abstract: Abstract Orthopteran insects are characterized by high variability in body coloration, in particular featuring a widespread green-brown color polymorphism. The mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of this apparently balanced polymorphism are not yet understood.… read more here.
