[HTML][HTML] Eco-evolutionary genomics of chromosomal inversions

M Wellenreuther, L Bernatchez - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2018 - cell.com
Chromosomal inversions have long fascinated evolutionary biologists due to their suppression
of recombination, which can protect co-adapted alleles. Emerging research documents …

[HTML][HTML] Harnessing the power of genomics to secure the future of seafood

L Bernatchez, M Wellenreuther, C Araneda… - Trends in Ecology & …, 2017 - cell.com
Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in
human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection of …

[PDF][PDF] Going beyond SNPs: The role of structural genomic variants in adaptive evolution and species diversification

M Wellenreuther, C Mérot, E Berdan… - Molecular ecology, 2019 - bio.ulaval.ca
Although single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) were initially thought to make‐up the majority
of selectable variation (Morin, Luikart, & Wayne, 2004; Sachidanandam et al., 2001), it is …

Sexual selection and genetic colour polymorphisms in animals

M Wellenreuther, EI Svensson, B Hansson - Molecular ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Genetic colour polymorphisms are widespread across animals and often subjected to complex
selection regimes. Traditionally, colour morphs were used as simple visual markers to …

[HTML][HTML] Balancing selection via life-history trade-offs maintains an inversion polymorphism in a seaweed fly

…, E Normandeau, L Bernatchez, M Wellenreuther - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
How natural diversity is maintained is an evolutionary puzzle. Genetic variation can be eroded
by drift and directional selection but some polymorphisms persist for long time periods, …

A roadmap for understanding the evolutionary significance of structural genomic variation

…, RA Oomen, A Tigano, M Wellenreuther - Trends in Ecology & …, 2020 - cell.com
Structural genomic variants (SVs) are ubiquitous and play a major role in adaptation and
speciation. Yet, comparative and population genomics have focused predominantly on gene …

Epigenetic inheritance and reproductive mode in plants and animals

…, CJ Venney, L Bernatchez, M Wellenreuther - Trends in Ecology & …, 2021 - cell.com
Epigenetic inheritance is another piece of the puzzle of nongenetic inheritance, although
the prevalence, sources, persistence, and phenotypic consequences of heritable epigenetic …

Detecting polygenic evolution: problems, pitfalls, and promises

M Wellenreuther, B Hansson - TRENDS in Genetics, 2016 - cell.com
Unraveling the genetic basis of organismal form and function remains one of the major goals
of evolutionary biology. Theory has long supported a model of polygenic evolution in which …

[HTML][HTML] Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) as a bridge between ecology and evolutionary genomics

…, Y Takahashi, PC Watts, M Wellenreuther - Frontiers in …, 2016 - Springer
Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) present an unparalleled insect model to integrate
evolutionary genomics with ecology for the study of insect evolution. Key features of Odonata …

Locally adaptive inversions modulate genetic variation at different geographic scales in a seaweed fly

…, J Ragoussis, M Wellenreuther… - Molecular biology …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Across a species range, multiple sources of environmental heterogeneity, at both small and
large scales, create complex landscapes of selection, which may challenge adaptation, …
