Mechanisms Maintaining Additive Genetic Variance in Fitness in Red Squirrels
… fitness and limit future evolutionary potential. Sexual antagonism and temporal fluctuations in selection are mechanisms that could maintain Va in fitness. Maternal genetic effects could be an additional source of adaptive genetic variation. I used ‘animal models’ to examine a long-term population …

Extinction of Chromosomes due to Specialization is a Universal Occurrence
… a potential selective advantage aside from sexual antagonism. We examined the evolution of mammalian orthologs to determine if the selective forces that led to the degeneration of the Y chromosome are unique in the genome. The results of our study suggest these forces are not exclusive to …

Characterization of the expression patterns of the retrogene-parental gene pairs in the African malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii
Retrogenes are a group of functional genes produced by gene retroduplication events during evolution. It has been observed that many retrogenes have formed since the evolutionary divergence of Anopheles mosquitoes from the Aedes lineage as a result of developing heteromorphic sex chromosomes. It …
