A lizard is never late: squamate genomics as a recent catalyst for understanding sex chromosome and microchromosome evolution

BJ Pinto, T Gamble, CH Smith, MA Wilson - Journal of Heredity, 2023 - academic.oup.com
In 2011, the first high-quality genome assembly of a squamate reptile (lizard or snake) was
published for the green anole. Dozens of genome assemblies were subsequently published …

Did doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mtDNA originate as a cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system?

…, DT Stewart, J Brémaud, JC Havird, CH Smith… - …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Animal and plant species exhibit an astonishing diversity of sexual systems, including
environmental and genetic determinants of sex, with the latter including genetic material in the …

[HTML][HTML] Integrative taxonomy resolves taxonomic uncertainty for freshwater mussels being considered for protection under the US Endangered Species Act

NA Johnson, CH Smith, JM Pfeiffer, CR Randklev… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Objectively delimiting species boundaries remains an important challenge in systematics and
becomes urgent when unresolved taxonomy complicates conservation and recovery efforts…

Integrative taxonomy reveals a new species of freshwater mussel, Potamilus streckersoni sp. nov. (Bivalvia: Unionidae): implications for conservation and …

CH Smith, NA Johnson, K Inoue, RD Doyle… - Systematics and …, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Inaccurate systematics confound our ability to determine evolutionary processes that have

Molecular and morphometric analyses reveal cryptic diversity within freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) of the western Gulf coastal drainages of the USA

…, K Inoue, NA Johnson, CH Smith… - Biological Journal of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Past geological processes and climate change affected current species distributions and
the genetic structure of riverine fauna. Western Gulf of Mexico coastal rivers harbour four …

Molecular and morphological data reveal non-monophyly and speciation in imperiled freshwater mussels (Anodontoides and Strophitus)

CH Smith, NA Johnson, JM Pfeiffer… - Molecular Phylogenetics …, 2018 - Elsevier
Accurate taxonomic placement is vital to conservation efforts considering many intrinsic
biological characteristics of understudied species are inferred from closely related taxa. The …

Molecular data validate historical and contemporary distributions of Pleurobema riddellii (Bivalvia: Unionidae) and help guide conservation and recovery efforts

…, PD Hartfield, JD Williams, CH Smith - Endangered Species …, 2023 - int-res.com
Accurate taxonomic and distributional information are arguably the most critical components
of conservation status assessments but can be greatly affected by misidentifications. The …

Comparative phylogenomics reveal complex evolution of life history strategies in a clade of bivalves with parasitic larvae (Bivalvia: Unionoida: Ambleminae)

CH Smith, JM Pfeiffer, NA Johnson - Cladistics, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Freshwater mussels are a species‐rich group with biodiversity patterns strongly shaped by
a life history strategy that includes an obligate parasitic larval stage. In this study, we set out …

The revised reference genome of the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) provides insight into the considerations of genome phasing and assembly

BJ Pinto, T Gamble, CH Smith, SE Keating… - Journal of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com

other vertebrate systems and high-quality reference genomes remain scarce. Of the 23 …

A high-quality reference genome for a parasitic bivalve with doubly uniparental inheritance (Bivalvia: Unionida)

CH Smith - Genome Biology and Evolution, 2021 - academic.oup.com
From a genomics perspective, bivalves (Mollusca: Bivalvia) have been poorly explored with
the exception for those of high economic value. The bivalve order Unionida, or freshwater …
