Consistent accumulation of transposable elements in species of the Hawaiian Tetragnatha spiny-leg adaptive radiation across the archipelago chronosequence
Yang, Heidi; Goubert, Clément; Cotoras, Darko D.; Dimitrov, Dimitar Stefanov; Graham, Natalie R.; Cerca, José; Gillespie, Rosemary G. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The ecological and phenotypic diversity observed in oceanic island radiations presents an evolutionary paradox: a high level of genetic variation is typically required for diversification, but species colonizing a new ... -
Multiple paths toward repeated phenotypic evolution in the spiny-leg adaptive radiation (Tetragnatha; Hawai'i)
Cerca, José; Cotoras, Darko; Santander, Cindy G.; Bieker, Vanessa Carina; Hutchins, Leke; Morin-Lagos, Jaime; Prada, Carlos; Kennedy, Susan M.; Krehenwinkel, Henrik; Rominger, Andrew J.; Meier, Joana Isabel; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Struck, Torsten H; Gillespie, Rosemary G (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The repeated evolution of phenotypes provides clear evidence for the role of natural selection in driving evolutionary change. However, the evolutionary origin of repeated phenotypes can be difficult to disentangle as it ... -
The Tetragnatha kauaiensis Genome Sheds Light on the Origins of Genomic Novelty in Spiders
Cerca, José; Armstrong, Ellie E.; Vizueta, Joel; Fernández, Rosa; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Petersen, Bent; Prost, Stefan; Rozas, Julio; Petrov, Dmitri; Gillespie, Rosemary G. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Spiders (Araneae) have a diverse spectrum of morphologies, behaviors, and physiologies. Attempts to understand the genomic-basis of this diversity are often hindered by their large, heterozygous, and AT-rich genomes with ...
