Can population genetics adapt to rapid evolution?
Population genetics largely rests on a 'standard model'in which random genetic drift is the
dominant force, selective sweeps occur infrequently, and deleterious mutations are purged …

Rapid adaptation in a fast‐changing world: Emerging insights from insect genomics
Many researchers have questioned the ability of biota to adapt to rapid anthropogenic
environmental shifts. Here, we synthesize emerging genomic evidence for rapid insect …

300 million years of diversification: elucidating the patterns of orthopteran evolution based on comprehensive taxon and gene sampling
Orthoptera is the most diverse order among the polyneopteran groups and includes familiar
insects, such as grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, and their kin. Due to a long history of …

Tactics of evasion: strategies used by signallers to deter eavesdrop** enemies from exploiting communication systems
Eavesdrop** predators, parasites and parasitoids exploit signals emitted by their prey and
hosts for detection, assessment, localization and attack, and in the process impose strong …

Evolutionary rates of and selective constraints on the mitochondrial genomes of Orthoptera insects with different wing types
H Chang, Z Qiu, H Yuan, X Wang, X Li, H Sun… - Molecular phylogenetics …, 2020 - Elsevier
Orthoptera is the most diverse order of polyneopterans, and the forewing and hindwing of its
members exhibit extremely variability from full length to complete loss in many groups; thus …

The yellow gene influences Drosophila male mating success through sex comb melanization
Drosophila melanogaster males perform a series of courtship behaviors that, when
successful, result in copulation with a female. For over a century, mutations in the yellow …

A simple genetic basis of adaptation to a novel thermal environment results in complex metabolic rewiring in Drosophila
Background Population genetic theory predicts that rapid adaptation is largely driven by
complex traits encoded by many loci of small effect. Because large-effect loci are quickly …

Rapid parallel adaptation despite gene flow in silent crickets
Gene flow is predicted to impede parallel adaptation via de novo mutation, because it can
introduce pre-existing adaptive alleles from population to population. We test this using …
