Simulated climate change provokes rapid genetic change in the Mediterranean shrub Fumana thymifolia (2008, background): “, 2006a), and sympatric speciation in plants (Savolainen et al., 2006).”
Almost forgotten or latest practice? AFLP applications, analyses and advances. (2007, background): “Refs [ 15 ,43,55]). Because some dissimilarity measures only take into account shared presences (e.g.”
Underappreciated Consequences of Phenotypic Plasticity for Ecological Speciation (2012, methodology): “The lines illustrate flowering periods for plants on two soil types (dashed and solid) based on initial conditions in the simulations of Gavrilets and Vose [59] for ecological speciation based on the Howea palm tree study [60].”
Reanalysis suggests that genomic islands of speciation are due to reduced diversity, not reduced gene flow (2014, background): “Because d XY is affected by both the substitution rate and levels of ancestral variation, comparisons of divergence between X-linked and autosomal loci suffer from several inequalities.”
High tropical net diversification drives the New World latitudinal gradient in palm (Arecaceae) species richness (2008, background): “…species-rich groups such as the Bactridinae with 113 species (diverging from its sister taxon Elaeidinae 42–46 Ma; Gunn, 2004), the genus Geonoma with 51 species (stem age c. 23 Ma; Savolainen et al. 2006), and the Phytelephanteae with nine species (crown group age 25–16 Ma; Trénel et al., 2007).”
Divergent selection and heterogeneous genomic divergence (2009, background): “Zostera marina (marine flowering plant) Tidal creek vs. tidal flat 25 EST-derived and anonymous microsatellite markers Compare divergence between populations in different habitats for three independent population pairs 12% of loci outliers, with these exhibiting replicated divergence for population ”
Predicting the Probability of Outbreeding Depression (2011, background): “New mutations also contribute to genetic variation and adaptation (Hill 1982): t∑ i=1, ADi∼ t∑ i=1, 2Ne Siσ 2 m/σ 2 P , (2) where σm2 is the increase in additive genetic variation due to mutation in each generation and σ P2 is phenotypic variation.”
Land ahead: using genome scans to identify molecular markers of adaptive relevance (2008, background): “In contrast, Savolainen et al. (2006) found evidence for sympatric speciation in two closely related endemic palms of the oceanic Lord Howe Island.”
Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. I. Historical biogeography (2013, background): “Our results are similar to previous age estimates for these groups (Savolainen et al., 2006; Trénel et al., 2007) and support the assertions of Trénel et al. (2007) that the disjunct Southern Hemisphere distribution of tribe Ceroxyleae is best explained by dispersal during the mid-Cenozoic,…”
Adaptation and diversification on islands (2009, background): “Although there are exceptions (including the sister taxa of palms, Howea spp., on Lord Howe Island 21,22 ), the overwhelming absence of species splitting on small islands suggests that allopatry (geographical isolation) is required — a conclusion reached by Ernst Mayr as a result of his studies of…”
