Common genome-wide patterns of transcript accumulation underlying the wing polyphenism and polymorphism in the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum)Jennifer A Brisson
Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
Evol Dev 9:338-46. 2007..These data also provide a baseline for future studies of the molecular and physiological basis of life-history trade-offs...
Rarity of males in pea aphids results in mutational decayJennifer A Brisson
Section of Ecology and Evolution, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Science 319:58. 2008..We conclude that the ability of females to reproduce asexually without males reduces selection constraints on male-based genes, resulting in their mutational decay...
Similar patterns of linkage disequilibrium and nucleotide diversity in native and introduced populations of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisumJennifer A Brisson
Section of Ecology and Evolution, University of California at Davis, Davis, CA, USA
BMC Genet 10:22. 2009..Because introductions can cause population bottlenecks, we hypothesized that U.S. populations harbor lower levels of nucleotide diversity and higher levels of LD than native populations...
The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum: an emerging genomic model system for ecological, developmental and evolutionary studiesJennifer A Brisson
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Bioessays 28:747-55. 2006..Combined with new genomic approaches, the pea aphid is poised to become an important model system for understanding the molecular and developmental basis of many ecologically and evolutionarily relevant problems...
Assembly of the eastern North American herpetofauna: new evidence from lizards and frogsJ Robert Macey
Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
Biol Lett 2:388-92. 2006..The contribution of faunal elements from Asia via dispersal across Beringia is a dominant theme in the historical assembly of the eastern North American herpetofauna...
Population genetics of the developmental gene optomotor-blind (omb) in Drosophila polymorpha: evidence for a role in abdominal pigmentation variationJennifer A Brisson
Department of Biology, Washington University, Saint Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Genetics 168:1999-2010. 2004..Selection at this locus is expected if omb contributes to variation in abdominal pigmentation, since this trait is likely of ecological importance...
Phylogenetic analysis of the Cardini group of Drosophila with respect to changes in pigmentationJennifer A Brisson
Department of Biology, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Evolution Int J Org Evolution 60:1228-41. 2006..Finally, we demonstrate that monomorphic species have arisen independently from polymorphic ancestors two to three times...
