Maternal sex and mate relatedness affect offspring quality in the gynodioecious Silene acaulisS R Keller
Department of Biology and Wildlife, Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK, USA
J Evol Biol 19:1128-38. 2006..The effect of maternal sex may be explained by higher performance of female genotypes and a greater abundance of female genotypes among the offspring of female mothers...
History, chance and adaptation during biological invasion: separating stochastic phenotypic evolution from response to selectionStephen R Keller
Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904 4328, USA
Ecol Lett 11:852-66. 2008..F(ST)). Designs that incorporate a null expectation can reveal the role of history and chance in the evolutionary process, and provide greater insights into evolution during species invasions...
Adaptation and colonization history affect the evolution of clines in two introduced speciesStephen R Keller
Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904 4328, USA
New Phytol 183:678-90. 2009..Colonization history, estimated using genetic markers, is a useful null model for tests of adaptive trait divergence, especially during range expansion and invasion when selection and gene flow may not have reached equilibrium...
Historical range expansion determines the phylogenetic diversity introduced during contemporary species invasionDouglas R Taylor
Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22904 4328, USA
Evolution 61:334-45. 2007..Our results provide clear insights into how historical processes may feed forward to influence the phylogenetic diversity of species invading new geographic ranges...
Variation in mutation rate and polymorphism among mitochondrial genes of Silene vulgarisCamille M Barr
Department of Biology, University of Virginia, VA, USA
Mol Biol Evol 24:1783-91. 2007....
De novo transcriptome assembly and polymorphism detection in the flowering plant Silene vulgaris (Caryophyllaceae)Daniel B Sloan
Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22903, USA
Mol Ecol Resour 12:333-43. 2012..All of these resources are publicly available through NCBI and/or our website (http://silenegenomics.biology.virginia.edu) and should provide valuable genomic and population genetic tools for the Silene research community...
Epistatic and cytonuclear interactions govern outbreeding depression in the autotetraploid Campanulastrum americanumJulie R Etterson
Department of Biology, University of Minnesota, Minnesota 55812 3004, USA
Evolution 61:2671-83. 2007..This study, the first of its kind on a natural autotetraploid, suggests that gene duplication may cause polyploid populations to diverge in a fundamentally different way than diploids...
Evolutionary rate variation at multiple levels of biological organization in plant mitochondrial DNADaniel B Sloan
Mol Biol Evol 25:243-6. 2008..Additionally, they should alter our interpretation of many common phylogenetic and population genetic analyses...
