Adaptive gamete-recognition divergence in a hybridizing Mytilus population.
Gamete-recognition proteins often evolve rapidly, but it is not known if their divergence occurs within species and corresponds with the evolution of reproductive isolation, or if divergence typically accumulates between already isolated lineages. We examined the evolution of a candidate gamete-recognition protein in several sympatric and allopatric populations of Mytilus blue mussels, species ...
متن کاملAdaptive population divergence : markers , QTL and traits
Molecular genetic markers have played a major role in evolutionary biology.As molecular methods have become cheaper, faster and involve less invasive sampling, they have become increasingly popular in conservation [2,3], where there is often a clear need for rapid decision making. For example, because genetic differences among populations are often considered worthy of conserving [2–5], many st...
متن کاملSea urchin bindin divergence predicts gamete compatibility.
Studies on the evolution of reproductive proteins have shown that they tend to evolve more rapidly than other proteins, frequently under positive selection. Progress on understanding the implications of these patterns is possible for marine invertebrates, where molecular evolution can be linked to gamete compatibility. In this study, we surveyed data from the literature from five genera of sea ...
متن کاملEvolution of gamete recognition proteins.
REVIEW Although fertilization has been studied for more than a century, the cell surface proteins mediating the process are only now becoming known. Gamete interaction in animals appears to be molecularly complex. Although it is difficult to generalize at present, diversity of structure may be a recurring theme in the evolution of fertilization proteins. Examples of rapid evolution of fertiliza...
متن کاملAdaptive Gene Expression Divergence Inferred from Population Genomics
Detailed studies of individual genes have shown that gene expression divergence often results from adaptive evolution of regulatory sequence. Genome-wide analyses, however, have yet to unite patterns of gene expression with polymorphism and divergence to infer population genetic mechanisms underlying expression evolution. Here, we combined genomic expression data--analyzed in a phylogenetic con...
