Sex-specific expression of pheromones and other signals in gravid starfish
Background Many echinoderms form seasonal aggregations prior to spawning. In some
fecund species, a spawning event can lead to population outbreaks with detrimental …

Interspecific gamete compatibility and hybrid larval fitness in reef-building corals: implications for coral reef restoration
Climate warming is a major cause of the global decline of coral reefs. Active reef restoration,
although still in its infancy, is one of several possible ways to help restore coral cover and …

Positive selection on sperm ion channels in a brooding brittle star: Consequence of life‐history traits evolution
Closely related species are key models to investigate mechanisms leading to reproductive
isolation and early stages of diversification, also at the genomic level. The brittle star cryptic …

Nonspecific expression of fertilization genes in the crown‐of‐thorns Acanthaster cf. solaris: Unexpected evidence of hermaphroditism in a coral reef predator
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 …

Paternal identity influences response of Acanthaster planci embryos to ocean acidification and warming
The crown-of-thorns sea star Acanthaster planci is a key predator of corals and has had a
major influence on the decrease in coral cover across the Indo-Pacific. To understand how …

Positive selection on human gamete-recognition genes
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 …

Molecular evolution of mammalian genes with epistatic interactions in fertilization
Background Genes that encode proteins associated with sperm competition, fertilization,
and sexual conflicts of interest are often among the most rapidly evolving parts of animal …

Selection on genes associated with the evolution of divergent life histories: Gamete recognition or something else?
Gamete compatibility, and fertilization success, is mediated by gamete‐recognition genes
(GRGs) that are expected to show genetic evidence of a response to sexual selection …
