Eye can see clearly now: Identifying the locus associated with a white‐eye mutation in honey bees ( <span> <i>Apis mellifera</i> </span> ) Open
In insects, eye pigmentation is vital for various adaptive functions, including foraging, mating and predator avoidance. Due to its visible and often heritable variation, altered eye pigmentation in mutants provides an excellent model for …

Individual and social heterosis act independently in honey bee (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) colonies Open
Heterosis occurs in individuals when genetic diversity, e.g., heterozygosity, increases fitness. Many advanced eusocial insects evolved mating behaviors, including polyandry and polygyny, which increase inter-individual genetic diversity w…

Spatio-temporal variability in the strength, directionality, and relative importance of climate on occupancy and population densities in a philopatric mammal, the American pika (Ochotona princeps) Open
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely employed to evaluate species–environment relationships. However, when extrapolated over broad spatial scales or through time, these models decline in their predictive ability due to varia…

Geographic and taxonomic variation in adaptive capacity among mountain-dwelling small mammals: Implications for conservation status and actions Open
Contemporary climate change is modifying the distribution, morphology, phenology, physiology, evolution, and interspecific interactions of species. Effects of climate change are mediated not only through the magnitude of change experienced…

Migratory beekeeping facilitates genetic admixture in populations of the honeybee parasite Varroa destructor Open
Understanding the rapid evolution of agricultural pests can inform mitigation efforts and provide comprehensive models for natural systems and examples for the consequences of anthropogenic global change. It is suspected that the practice …
