Population structure, parasitism, and survivorship of sexual and autodiploid parthenogenetic Campeloma limumS G Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, Louisiana 70148, USA
Evolution 54:167-75. 2000..limum in the Atlantic coastal plain. Parthenogens may persist by higher dispersal rates into marginal habitats where there is a temporary escape from digenetic trematodes and competition with sexuals...
Age, phylogeography and population structure of the microendemic banded spring snail, Mexipyrgus churinceanusSteven G Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA 70148, USA
Mol Ecol 14:2299-311. 2005..Migration rates between drainages indicate very little gene flow between drainages except for asymmetric migration from the Rio Mesquites into both western and southeastern drainages...
Mode of origin differentially influences the fitness of parthenogenetic freshwater snailsSteven G Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA 70148, USA
Proc Biol Sci 272:2149-53. 2005..Given the considerable fitness advantages of parthenogens, especially hybrid parthenogens, it is enigmatic as to why these parthenogens occupy marginal natural habitats...
Geographic ranges, population structure, and ages of sexual and parthenogenetic snail lineagesSteven G Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana 70148, USA
Evolution 60:1417-26. 2006..In contrast to previous allozyme evidence for nonhybrid origins of diploid Campeloma parthenogens, cryptic hybridization may account for elevated heterozygosity...
Spatial mosaic evolution of snail defensive traitsSteven G Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA 70148, USA
BMC Evol Biol 7:50. 2007....
Contrasting patterns of synonymous and nonsynonymous sequence evolution in asexual and sexual freshwater snail lineagesSteven G Johnson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana 70148, USA
Evolution 61:2728-35. 2007..These findings suggest that patterns of synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide polymorphism in asexual snail lineages may be shaped by both severe founder effect and relaxed purifying selection...
Spatial geographic mosaic in an aquatic predator-prey networkJohel Chaves-Campos
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e22472. 2011....
The effect of aquatic plant abundance on shell crushing resistance in a freshwater snailJohel Chaves-Campos
Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America
PLoS ONE 7:e44374. 2012..Hence, we propose that a third trophic level could be important in the coevolution of snail defensive traits and predatory structures...
