The genomic basis of species barriers in Heliconius butterflies
… forms. Recently, with the development of molecular and genomic tools, it has become possible to understand how and when reproductive isolation arises and what are the underlying mechanisms in the evolution of genetic incompatibilities. Heliconius is a genus of neotropical butterfly best …

Phylogeography and the evolution of correlated traits under multiple origins of aposematism in the poison frog family
… I measured resting and active metabolic rates of 54 species. I traced metabolic measurements along aposematism, diet specialization, molecular rates, and body mass. I found a synergistic and co-adapted functionality of active metabolic rates with all previous traits that is perhaps the …

Host-parasite cophylogeny and rates of evolution in two rodent-louse assemblages
… hosts and their parasites. This study uses molecular data to test the hypothesis that members of two rodent families (Geomyidae and Heteromyidae) and their associated lice (Geomydoecus and Fahrenholzia, respectively) show a statistically significant pattern of cophylogeny. Both host groups …

The influence of vicariance and dispersal on the diversification and evolution of springtails (collembola)
… and compare spatial and temporal patterns of molecular diversity for two ecologically distinct and codistributed genera of cavernicolous springtails (cave-obligate vs. cave-facultative species) from a regional cave-bearing karst system spanning the Mississippi River in Illinois and Missouri. …
