Behavioral estimates of mating success corroborate genetic evidence for pre-copulatory sexual selection in maleAnolis sagreilizards

In promiscuous species, fitness estimates obtained from genetic parentage may often reflect both pre- and post-copulatory components of sexual selection. Directly observing copulations can help isolate the role of pre-copulatory selection, but such b

Population differentiation at a regional scale in spadefoot toads: contributions of distance and divergent selective environments

Autor: Heidi A. Seears, Michael A. McQuillan, Amber M. Rice, Joanna A. Warren

Publikováno v: Current Zoology

The causes of population differentiation can provide insight into the origins of early barriers to gene flow. Two key drivers of population differentiation are geographic distance and local adaptation to divergent selective environments. When reprodu

Extracting DNA from within intact foraminiferal shells

Autor: Heidi A. Seears, Christopher M. Wade

Publikováno v: Marine Micropaleontology. 109:46-53

Here we present an evaluation of several methods for extracting DNA from within intact foraminiferal shells. We tested 12 lysis buffers under carefully optimised incubation conditions, evaluating their success in terms of efficiency in evacuating cel

International audience; Investigations of biodiversity, biogeography, and ecological processes rely on the identification of “species” as biologically significant, natural units of evolution. In this context, morphotaxonomy only provides an adequ

PFR²: a curated database of planktonic foraminifera 18S ribosomal DNA as a resource for studies of plankton ecology, biogeography and evolution

Planktonic foraminifera (Rhizaria) are ubiquitous marine pelagic protists producing calcareous shells with conspicuous morphology. They play an important role in the marine carbon cycle, and their exceptional fossil record serves as the basis for bio
