Pleiotropic costs of niche expansion in the RNA bacteriophage phi 6Siobain Duffy
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520 8106, USA
Genetics 172:751-7. 2006..The possibility for cost-free niche expansion implies that varied ecological conditions may favor host shifts in RNA viruses...
Evolution of host specificity drives reproductive isolation among RNA virusesSiobain Duffy
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA
Evolution 61:2614-22. 2007..Furthermore, our data confirm the biological credibility of simple "no-gene" mechanisms of assortative mating, in which this trait arises as a pleiotropic effect of genes responsible for ecological adaptation...
Evolutionary genomics of host-use in bifurcating demes of RNA virus phi-6Paul E Turner
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
BMC Evol Biol 12:153. 2012..The resulting tree yielded 32 clones at the tips and internal nodes; these strains were fully sequenced and measured for phenotypic changes in selected traits (fitness on original and novel hosts)...
