An annotated chromosome-level genome for the red-fronted brown lemur ( <i>Eulemur rufifrons</i> ) sheds light on brown lemur evolution Open
The red-fronted brown lemur (Eulemur rufifrons) is an important species to the function of Madagascar's ecosystems, contributing to critical ecological processes such as seed dispersal. Given its ecological, as well as cultural, importance…

Multiple bursts of speciation in Madagascar’s endangered lemurs Open
Lemurs are often cited as an example of adaptive radiation, as more than 100 extant species have evolved and filled ecological niches on Madagascar. However, recent work suggests that lemurs lack a hallmark of other adaptive radiations: ex…

Additional Complexity in Historic and Contemporary Gene Flow Among Hoary, Vancouver Island, and Olympic Marmots Revealed by Microsatellites and Ultraconserved Elements Open
Alpine species are inordinately threatened by habitat loss and precipitation changes resulting from climate change. In North America's Pacific Northwest (PNW), three closely related alpine mammal species—hoary, Olympic, and Vancouver Islan…

A Pervasive History of Gene Flow in Madagascar’s True Lemurs (Genus Eulemur) Open
In recent years, it has become widely accepted that interspecific gene flow is common across the Tree of Life. Questions remain about how species boundaries can be maintained in the face of high levels of gene flow and how phylogeneticists…

Multiple bursts of speciation in Madagascar’s endangered lemurs Open
Lemurs are often cited as an example of adaptive radiation. Since colonizing Madagascar, more than 100 extant lemur species have evolved to fill a variety of ecological niches on the island. However, recent work suggests that lemurs do not…

Disentangling morphology and genetics in two voles (<i>Microtus pennsylvanicus</i> and <i>M. ochrogaster</i>) in a region of sympatry Open
Species in recent, rapid radiations can be difficult to distinguish from one another due to incomplete sorting of traits, insufficient time for novel morphologies to evolve, and elevated rates of hybridization and gene flow. The vole genus…

Lemur gut microeukaryotic community variation is not associated with host phylogeny, diet, or habitat Open
Gut prokaryotic (GP) community variation is often associated with host evolutionary and ecological variables; whether these factors drive variation in other gut taxa remains largely untested. We present a one-to-one comparison of GP (16S r…

Whole Genomes Reveal Evolutionary Relationships and Mechanisms Underlying Gene-Tree Discordance in<i>Neodiprion</i>Sawflies Open
A bstract Rapidly evolving taxa are excellent models for understanding the mechanisms that give rise to biodiversity. However, developing an accurate historical framework for comparative analysis of such lineages remains a challenge due to…

Identification, biology, and management of conifer sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprioninae) in eastern North America Open
Pine sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) are eruptive herbivores found throughout eastern North America. The Diprionidae family, which contains at least 140 species, constitutes the most persistent threat to conifers as population outbreak…

Significant effects of host dietary guild and phylogeny in wild lemur gut microbiomes Open
Mammals harbor diverse gut microbiomes (GMs) that perform critical functions for host health and fitness. Identifying factors associated with GM variation can help illuminate the role of microbial symbionts in mediating host ecological int…

Geography is more important than life history in the recent diversification of the tiger salamander complex Open
Significance Population structure and speciation are shaped by a combination of biotic and abiotic factors. The tiger salamander complex has been considered a key group in which life history variation has led to a rapid rate of speciation,…

Montane regions shape patterns of diversification in small mammals and reptiles from Madagascar’s moist evergreen forest Open
Aim Madagascar is renowned for its exceptional species diversity and endemism. The island's mountainous regions are thought to have played a role in lineage and species diversification, but this has yet to be explored across taxonomic grou…
