Section of Evolution and Ecology and Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
Genetics 147:1799-815. 1997..These departures probably stem from the many simplifying assumptions needed to tractably model epistatic incompatibilities and to analyze heterogeneous data from many taxa...
Microbe-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility as a mechanism for introducing transgenes into arthropod populationsM Turelli
Section of Evolution and Ecology and Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
Insect Mol Biol 8:243-55. 1999..The analyses reveal which parameters must be estimated in order to predict population dynamics, and they demonstrate stringent requirements for initially driving and/or maintaining transgenes in target populations...
Dominance, epistasis and the genetics of postzygotic isolationM Turelli
Section of Evolution and Ecology and Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
Genetics 154:1663-79. 2000..Such incompatibilities are common in Drosophila species crosses, and their consequences in male- vs. female-heterogametic taxa may explain the pattern of exceptions to Haldane's rule...

Asymmetric postmating isolation: Darwin's corollary to Haldane's ruleMichael Turelli
Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA
Genetics 176:1059-88. 2007..Comparing our predictions to data from diverse taxa indicates that unidirectional DMIs, specifically involving sex chromosomes, cytoplasmic elements, and maternal effects, are likely to play an important role in postmating isolation...
Polygenic variation maintained by balancing selection: pleiotropy, sex-dependent allelic effects and G x E interactionsMichael Turelli
Section of Evolution and Ecology and Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
Genetics 166:1053-79. 2004..We present numerical results that support our analytical approximations and discuss our results in connection to relevant data and alternative variance-maintaining mechanisms...

Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA
Evolution 60:1763-76. 2006..5) are needed for significant conversion of higher-order components. We discuss alternative approaches to modeling multilocus epistasis and understanding its consequences...

Evolution 63:432-47. 2009..Selection acting through transfer between host species may be required to explain the prevalence of CI...
The geography of mammalian speciation: mixed signals from phylogenies and range mapsBenjamin M Fitzpatrick
Section of Evolution and Ecology and Center for Population Biology University of California, Davis 95616, USA
Evolution 60:601-15. 2006..Yet, even if few clades provide clear signals, meta-analytic approaches such as ARC may set bounds on the prevalence of alternative modes of speciation...
Effects of genetic drift on variance components under a general model of epistasisN H Barton
Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology, University of Edinburgh, EH9 3JT, United Kingdom
Evolution 58:2111-32. 2004..Although our analyses clarify the conditions under which drift is expected to increase V(A), we question the evolutionary importance of such increases...
From parasite to mutualist: rapid evolution of Wolbachia in natural populations of DrosophilaAndrew R Weeks
Department of Genetics, Centre for Environmental Stress and Adaptation Research, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia
PLoS Biol 5:e114. 2007..Our data suggest smaller but qualitatively similar changes in relative fecundity in nature and demonstrate that fecundity-increasing Wolbachia variants are currently polymorphic in natural populations...
Prediction of effects of genetic drift on variance components under a general model of epistasisWilliam G Hill
Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JT, UK
Theor Popul Biol 70:56-62. 2006..We also discuss the effects of population bottlenecks on covariances among relatives...
Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeographyGary G Mittelbach
W K Kellogg Biological Station and Department of Zoology, Michigan State University, Hickory Corners, MI 49060, USA
Ecol Lett 10:315-31. 2007..Distinguishing the roles of history, speciation and extinction in the origin of the latitudinal gradient represents a major challenge to future research...
Stochasticity overrules the "three-times rule": genetic drift, genetic draft, and coalescence times for nuclear loci versus mitochondrial DNARichard R Hudson
Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, 1101 East 57th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Evolution 57:182-90. 2003..We conclude that the three-times rule is neither a useful test for neutral molecular evolution nor a reliable guide to genealogical species...
