Publications
Adaptation and the cost of complexityH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, New York 14627, USA
Evolution 54:13-20. 2000..The present results also suggest that one can define an effective number of dimensions characterizing an adapting species...
The evolutionary genetics of adaptation: a simulation studyH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, NY 14627, USA
Genet Res 74:207-14. 1999..The results show that adaptation towards a fixed optimum is generally characterized by an exponential effects trend...
Haldane's sieve and adaptation from the standing genetic variationH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA
Genetics 157:875-84. 2001..autosomal loci. Last, we suggest a test to determine whether adaptation used new mutations or previously deleterious alleles from the standing genetic variation...
Testing natural selection vs. genetic drift in phenotypic evolution using quantitative trait locus dataH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627, USA
Genetics 149:2099-104. 1998..Rejection of the null hypothesis implies a role for directional natural selection. This test is applicable to any character in any organism in which QTL analysis can be performed...
The evolution of postzygotic isolation: accumulating Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilitiesH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, New York 14627, USA
Evolution 55:1085-94. 2001..Our analyses of data from Drosophila and Bombina suggest that p is generally very small, on the order of 10(-6) or less...
Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities and adaptation to a shared environmentR L Unckless
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA
Heredity (Edinb) 102:214-7. 2009..This precludes the development of a DMI, which requires different substitutions in the two populations...
The rate of adaptation in asexualsH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, New York 14627, USA
Genetics 155:961-8. 2000..In the course of this work, I derive an approximation to the probability of fixation of a favorable mutation in an asexual genome or nonrecombining chromosome region in which both favorable and deleterious mutations occur...
Genetic analysis of the hybrid male rescue locus of DrosophilaH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627, USA
Genetics 155:225-31. 2000..These findings support previous claims that hybrid embryonic and larval lethalities are genetically distinct and suggest that Hmr(mel) is at least one of the proximate causes of hybrid larval inviability...
The developmental genetics of hybrid inviability: a mitotic defect in Drosophila hybridsH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, NY 14627, USA
Genetics 145:1031-40. 1997..melanogaster and autosomal gene(s) from D. melanogaster's sister species...
The unexpected recovery of hybrids in a Drosophila species cross: a genetic analysisH A Orr
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, NY 14627, USA
Genet Res 67:11-8. 1996..melanogaster males. Genetic analysis of the difference between D. simulans strains that produce many versus few hybrid females shows that recovery of hybrid females depends on autosomal, maternally acting gene(s)...
Mapping and characterization of a 'speciation gene' in DrosophilaH A Orr
Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis 95616
Genet Res 59:73-80. 1992..Hms is zygotically acting, and the D. simulans allele of hms is completely recessive. Furthermore, complementation tests suggest that hms is not an allele of any known locus in D. melanogaster...
Does hybrid lethality depend on sex or genotype?H A Orr
Genetics 152:1767-9. 1999
