(2009-05-15)Swordtail fishes of the genus Xiphophorus have been studied as a model of sexual selection for many years. Many single-trait manipulation studies have been performed, determining female preferences for individual male ...

(2015-07-31)Hybridization represents a collision of genomes that can introduce new genetic and phenotypic variation into a population. Depending on the environment, this may lead to increased individual fitness and allow for integration ...
-
(2021-11-30)Understanding how genotype maps to phenotype is critical to understanding how evolution can generate and maintain biological diversity. Hybridization provides a great resource to pinpoint genes of interest, disentangle ...
-
(2014-04-17)Vertebrate vision is enabled by light-sensitive photoreceptors arranged in a plane in the retina. This study investigates two aspects of this arrangement: 1) positioning of basal bodies within photoreceptors, and 2) ...

(2020-03-16)A common goal in studies of natural hybridization is to understand how adaptation and speciation create genome-wide variation over spatial gradients. The speciation process generates genomic signatures that can be detected ...

(PLOS, 2014-10-15)Determining the costs of sexual ornaments is complicated by the fact that ornaments are often integrated with other, non-sexual traits, making it difficult to dissect the effect of ornaments independent of other aspects ...
