Large gene family expansions and adaptive evolution for odorant and gustatory receptors in the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisumCarole Smadja
Animal and Plant Sciences Department, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom
Mol Biol Evol 26:2073-86. 2009..The identification of chemoreceptor genes in this species is a key step toward further exploring insect comparative genetics, the genomics of ecological specialization and speciation, and new pest control strategies...
Hitching a lift on the road to speciationCarole Smadja
University of Sheffield, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Mol Ecol 17:4177-80. 2008..This idea potentially removes a major stumbling block to speciation under continuous gene flow...
Adaptation genomics: the next generationJessica Stapley
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, S10 2TN, UK
Trends Ecol Evol 25:705-12. 2010..How many genes are involved in adaptation? What types of genetic variation are responsible for adaptation? Does adaptation utilise pre-existing genetic variation or does it require new mutations to arise following an environmental change?..
