Divergent Selection on Dispersal Targets Chemosensory and Neuronal Genes in Tribolium castaneumNARA Subscribed
Dispersal is key to the life history, ecology and evolution of many organisms and important in pest invasiveness. However, the genetic architecture underlying variation in dispersal behaviour remains poorly understood outside of a few model species. We investigated the genomic basis of dispersal using artificial selection on replicated lines of Tribolium castaneum , a flour beetle, an emergent model system and an economically...

The Influence of Symbiont Identity on the Proteomic and Metabolomic Responses of the Model Cnidarian Aiptasia to Thermal StressNARA Subscribed
We examined the effects of symbiont identity and heat stress on the host metabolome and proteome in the cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis. Exaiptasia diaphana (‘Aiptasia’) was inoculated with its homologous (i.e., native) symbiont Breviolum minutum or a heterologous (i.e., non‐native) symbiont ( Symbiodinium microadriaticum ; Durusdinium trenchii ) and thermally stressed. Integrated metabolome and proteome analyses characteri...
Dispersal is an important behavior in many animals, with profound effects on individual fitness and the evolutionary trajectories of populations. This is especially true within taxa with particular life-history strategies, for example those that exploit ephemeral habitat. Further, dispersal is commonly seen to be part of behavioral syndromes - suites of traits that covary across behavioral contexts. The red flour beetle, Tribo...

Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
Aim To determine the relationships between the functional trait composition of forest communities and environmental gradients across scales and biomes and the role of species relative abundances in these relationships. Location Global. Time period Recent. Major taxa studied Trees. Methods We integrated species abundance records from worldwide forest inventories and associated functional traits (wood density, specific leaf area...
