How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

Investigating the history of natural selection among closely related species can elucidate
how genomes diverge in response to disparate environmental pressures. Molecular …

Understanding the movement of genes and individuals across marine seascapes is a long‐
standing challenge in marine ecology and can inform our understanding of local adaptation …

Sperm and eggs have interacting proteins on their surfaces that affect their compatibility
during fertilization. These gamete recognition proteins (GRPs) are typically polymorphic …

The characterization of gene expression in gametes has advanced our understanding of the
molecular basis for ecological variation in reproductive success and the evolution of …

We report the presence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) hyperdiversity in the marine
periwinkle Melarhaphe neritoides (Linnaeus, 1758), the first such case among marine …

Coevolution of genes that encode interacting proteins expressed on the surfaces of sperm
and eggs can lead to variation in reproductive compatibility between mates and reproductive …

As global temperatures warm, species must adapt to a changing climate or transition to a
different location suitable for their survival. Understanding the extent to which species are …

A key strategy to reduce coral loss is the development of effective control method for the
corallivorous crown‐of‐thorns sea star (Acanthaster planci), an omnipresent scourge and …

Selection associated with competition among males or sexual conflict between mates can
create positive selection for high rates of molecular evolution of gamete recognition genes …
