Genomic islands of speciation in Anopheles gambiaeThomas L Turner
Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, California, USA
PLoS Biol 3:e285. 2005..Concentrating future mapping experiments on these regions should reveal the genes responsible for reproductive isolation between forms...
Locus- and population-specific selection and differentiation between incipient species of Anopheles gambiaeThomas L Turner
Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, USA
Mol Biol Evol 24:2132-8. 2007..There is reduced variation in the M form in Cameroon at this location and increased divergence to the outgroup Anopheles arabiensis, supporting an association of adaptation with reproductive isolation...
Genomic analysis of adaptive differentiation in Drosophila melanogasterThomas L Turner
Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Genetics 179:455-73. 2008..This portrait of differentiation provides a genomic perspective on adaptation and the maintenance of variation through spatially varying selection...
Population resequencing reveals local adaptation of Arabidopsis lyrata to serpentine soilsThomas L Turner
Molecular and Computational Biology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA
Nat Genet 42:260-3. 2010..lyrata indicates parallel differentiation of the same polymorphism at one locus, confirming ecological adaptation, and different polymorphisms at two other loci, which may indicate convergent evolution...
Investigating natural variation in Drosophila courtship song by the evolve and resequence approachThomas L Turner
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
Genetics 191:633-42. 2012..Though our power was adequate using this experimental technique, the ability to differentiate causal variants from those affected by linked selection requires further development...
Genomic analysis of differentiation between soil types reveals candidate genes for local adaptation in Arabidopsis lyrataThomas L Turner
Center for Population Biology, University of California Davis, Davis, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 3:e3183. 2008..One gene in particular, calcium-exchanger 7, appears to be an excellent candidate gene for adaptation to low CaratioMg ratio in A. lyrata...
Population-based resequencing of experimentally evolved populations reveals the genetic basis of body size variation in Drosophila melanogasterThomas L Turner
Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology Department, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California, USA
PLoS Genet 7:e1001336. 2011..By using significantly associated polymorphisms as a priori candidates in follow-up studies, these data are expected to provide considerable power to determine the genetic basis of natural variation in body size...
