Dramatic intraspecific differences in migratory routes, stopover sites and wintering areas, revealed using light-level geolocators

KE Delmore, JW Fox, DE Irwin - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Migratory divides are contact zones between breeding populations that use divergent
migratory routes and have been described in a variety of species. These divides are of major …

Hybrid songbirds employ intermediate routes in a migratory divide

KE Delmore, DE Irwin - Ecology Letters, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
… Table S3 summarises data on the temporal and spatial patterns of migration for the birds
tracked in this study and Delmore et al. (2012). On fall migration, birds with more inland alleles …

[PDF][PDF] The genetics of seasonal migration and plumage color

KE Delmore, DPL Toews, RR Germain, GL Owens… - Current Biology, 2016 - cell.com
… First, we used tracking data from Delmore and Irwin [S2] in which we tracked birds from the
center of the hybrid zone between thrushes (Pemberton and Hope, British Columbia, Canada…

Gene flow and selection interact to promote adaptive divergence in regions of low recombination

K Samuk, GL Owens, KE Delmore, SE Miller… - Molecular …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Adaptation to new environments often occurs in the face of gene flow. Under these
conditions, gene flow and recombination can impede adaptation by breaking down linkage …

Genomic analysis of a migratory divide reveals candidate genes for migration and implicates selective sweeps in generating islands of differentiation

KE Delmore, S Hübner, NC Kane, R Schuster… - Molecular …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
… geographic barriers (Delmore & Irwin 2014), and patterns of molecular variation in the hybrid
zone also suggest strong selection against hybrids (Ruegg 2008; Delmore & Irwin 2014). …

Recurrent selection explains parallel evolution of genomic regions of high relative but low absolute differentiation in a ring species

DE Irwin, M Alcaide, KE Delmore, JH Irwin… - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Recent technological developments allow investigation of the repeatability of evolution at the
genomic level. Such investigation is particularly powerful when applied to a ring species, in …

A comparison of genomic islands of differentiation across three young avian species pairs

…, AN Porter, C Grossen, KE Delmore… - Molecular …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Detailed evaluations of genomic variation between sister species often reveal distinct
chromosomal regions of high relative differentiation (ie, “islands of differentiation” in F ST ), but …

Dense sampling of bird diversity increases power of comparative genomics

…, N Dussex, H Mouritsen, N Thiele, K Delmore… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and
characterizing biodiversity 1 , 2 , 3 – 4 . Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed to …

The ecology of hybrid incompatibilities

…, JM Coughlan, KE Delmore… - Cold Spring …, 2023 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Ecologically mediated selection against hybrids, caused by hybrid phenotypes fitting poorly
into available niches, is typically viewed as distinct from selection caused by epistatic …

Individual variability and versatility in an eco-evolutionary model of avian migration

KE Delmore, BM Van Doren… - … of the Royal …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Seasonal migration is a complex and variable behaviour with the potential to promote
reproductive isolation. In Eurasian blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla), a migratory divide in central …
