Yohe, Laurel, Davies, Kalina, Simmons, Nancy, Sears, Karen, Dumont, Elizabeth, Rossiter, Stephen, and Davalos, Liliana. 2019 Sep 11. Multigene families evolve from single-copy ancestral genes via duplication, and typically encode proteins critical to key biological processes. Mol...
Corthals, Angelique, Martin, Alynn, Warsi, Omar M., Woller-Skar, Megan, Lancaster, Winston, Russell, Amy, and Davalos, Liliana M. 2016 Jan 28. Studies in molecular ecology depend on field-collected samples for genetic information, and the tissue sampled and preservation conditions strongly...
Dumont, Elizabeth R., Samadevam, Krishna, Grosse, Ian R., Warsi, Omar M., Baird, Brandon, Davalos, Liliana M., and Grosse, Ian. 2016 Nov 16. Selection for divergent performance optima has been proposed as a central mechanism underlying adaptive radiation. Uncovering multiple optima requi...
Yohe, Laurel R., Abubakar, Ramatu, Giordano, Christina, Dumont, Elizabeth, Sears, Karen, Rossiter, Stephen J., Davalos, Liliana M., and Sears, Karen E. 2017 Jan 9. Comparative methods are often used to infer loss or gain of complex phenotypes, but few studies take advantage of genes tightly linked with complex...
Davalos, Liliana M, Lancaster, Winston C, Nunez Novas, Miguel S, Leon, Yolanda M, Lei, Bonnie R, Flanders, Jon, and Russell, Amy L. 2018 Jul 17. Determining the processes responsible for phenotypic variation is one of the central tasks of evolutionary biology. While the importance of acousti...
