Making a murderer: The evolutionary framing of hybrid gamete-killersSweigart, ALB, Yaniv; Fishman, Lila, Trends in Genetics, 35:245-252. 2019.Recent molecular investigations of hybrid incompatibilities have revealed fascinating patterns of genetic interactions that have been interpreted as the remnants of a history of selfish evolution. Instead of framing hybrid incompatibilities in light of genetic conflict, we ...

Mitonuclear interactions, mtDNA-mediated thermal plasticity, and implications for the Trojan Female Technique for pest controlJ. N. Wolff, D. M. Tompkins, N. J. Gemmell and D. K. Dowling, Scientific Reports, 6. 2016.Here we test whether the male-sterilizing effects previously associated with the mt: Cyt-b mutation are consistent across three thermal and three nuclear genomic contexts. The effects of this mutation were indeed moderated by the nuclear background and thermal environment, but ...
