The genetic basis of a regionally isolated sexual dimorphism involves cortex Open
Sexual dimorphisms represent a source of phenotypic variation and result from differences in how natural and sexual selection act on males and females within a species. Identifying the genetic basis of dimorphism can be challenging, especi…

New indicators for monitoring genetic diversity applied to alpine brown trout populations using whole genome sequence data Open
International policy recently adopted commitments to maintain genetic diversity in wild populations to secure their adaptive potential, including metrics to monitor temporal trends in genetic diversity – so‐called indicators. A national pr…

Whole‐genome resequencing confirms reproductive isolation between sympatric demes of brown trout (<i>Salmo trutta</i>) detected with allozymes Open
The sympatric existence of genetically distinguishable populations of the same species remains a puzzle in ecology. Coexisting salmonid fish populations are known from over 100 freshwater lakes. Most studies of sympatric populations have u…

A Population Genomic Investigation of Immune Cell Diversity and Phagocytic Capacity in a Butterfly Open
Insects rely on their innate immune system to successfully mediate complex interactions with their internal microbiota, as well as the microbes present in the environment. Given the variation in microbes across habitats, the challenges to …

Physiological Tradeoffs of Immune Response Differs by Infection Type in Pieris napi Open
Understanding the tradeoffs that result from successful infection responses is central to understanding how life histories evolve. Gaining such insights, however, can be challenging, as they may be pathogen specific and confounded with exp…

Ecology and Genetic Structure of the Parasitoid Phobocampe confusa (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) in Relation to Its Hosts, Aglais Species (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Open
The biology of parasitoids in natural ecosystems remains very poorly studied, though they are key species for their functioning. Here we focused on Phobocampe confusa, a Nymphalini specialist, responsible for high mortality rates in charis…

The consequences of surviving infection across the metamorphic boundary: tradeoff insights from RNAseq and life history measures Open
The broad diversity of insect life has been shaped, in part, by pathogen pressure, yet the influence of injury and infection during critical periods of development is understudied. During development, insects undergo metamorphosis, wherein…

Microevolutionary selection dynamics acting on immune genes of the green‐veined white butterfly, <i>Pieris napi</i> Open
Insects rely on their innate immune system to successfully mediate complex interactions with their microbiota, as well as the microbes present in the environment. Previous work has shown that components of the canonical immune gene reperto…

Cryptic, extensive and non-random chromosome reorganization revealed by a butterfly chromonome Open
Chromosome evolution, an important component of mico- and macroevolutionary dynamics 1–5 , presents an enigma in the mega-diverse Lepidoptera 6 . While most species exhibit constrained chromosome evolution, with nearly identical haploid ch…

Disentangling the complex evolutionary history of the Western Palearctic blue tits (<i>Cyanistes</i> spp.) – phylogenomic analyses suggest radiation by multiple colonization events and subsequent isolation Open
Isolated islands and their often unique biota continue to play key roles for understanding the importance of drift, genetic variation and adaptation in the process of population differentiation and speciation. One island system that has in…
