Jordan, Seirian Sumner, Jinliang Wang and Claire Carvell Land-use changes have threatened populations of many insect pollinators, including bumble bees. Patterns of dispersal and gene flow are key determinants of species’ ability to respond to land-use change,…
By Ian A. Warren, Kate L. Ciborowski, Elisa Casadei, David G. Hazlerigg, Sam Martin, William C. Jordan and Seirian Sumner. Many organisms can generate alternative phenotypes from the same genome, enabling individuals to exploit diverse and variable environments. A prevailing hypothesis is that such adaptation has been favored by gene duplication events, which generate redundant genomic…
