[PDF][PDF] Genomic and fitness consequences of genetic rescue in wild populations

SW Fitzpatrick, GS Bradburd, CT Kremer, PE Salerno… - Current Biology, 2020 - cell.com
Gene flow is an enigmatic evolutionary force because it can limit adaptation but may also
rescue small populations from inbreeding depression [1–3]. Several iconic examples of genetic …

[HTML][HTML] Male principal investigators (almost) don't publish with women in ecology and zoology

PE Salerno, M Páez-Vacas, JM Guayasamin… - PloS one, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Representation of women in science drops substantially at each career stage, from early
student to senior investigator. Disparities in opportunities for women to contribute to research …

Ancient tepui summits harbor young rather than old lineages of endemic frogs

PE Salerno, SR Ron, JC Senaris, FJM Rojas-Runjaic… - …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
The flattop mountains (tepuis) of South America are ancient remnants of the Precambrian
Guiana Shield plateau. The tepui summits, isolated by their surrounding cliffs that can be up to …

Extreme streams: Species persistence and genomic change in montane insect populations across a flooding gradient

NLR Poff, EI Larson, PE Salerno, SG Morton… - Ecology …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The ecological and evolutionary consequences of extreme events are poorly understood.
Here, we tested predictions about species persistence and population genomic change in …

Urbanization impacts apex predator gene flow but not genetic diversity across an urban‐rural divide

DR Trumbo, PE Salerno, KA Logan… - Molecular …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Apex predators are important indicators of intact natural ecosystems. They are also sensitive
to urbanization because they require broad home ranges and extensive contiguous habitat …

Urbanization reduces genetic connectivity in bobcats (Lynx rufus) at both intra– and interpopulation spatial scales

…, CP Burridge, WC Funk, PE Salerno… - Molecular …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Urbanization is a major factor driving habitat fragmentation and connectivity loss in wildlife.
However, the impacts of urbanization on connectivity can vary among species and even …

[HTML][HTML] Systematics of Ecnomiohyla tuberculosa with the description of a new species and comments on the taxonomy of Trachycephalus typhonius (Anura, Hylidae)

…, HM Ortega-Andrade, G Gagliardi-Urrutia, PE Salerno - ZooKeys, 2016 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Ecnomiohyla tuberculosa is an Amazonian hylid of uncertain phylogenetic position. Herein
DNA sequences of mitochondrial and nuclear genes are used to determine its phylogenetic …

Habitat‐linked genetic variation supports microgeographic adaptive divergence in an Island‐endemic bird species

RG Cheek, BR Forester, PE Salerno… - Molecular …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
We investigated the potential mechanisms driving habitat‐linked genetic divergence within
a bird species endemic to a single 250‐km 2 island. The island scrub‐jay (Aphelocoma …

[HTML][HTML] Host relatedness and landscape connectivity shape pathogen spread in the puma, a large secretive carnivore

…, RB Gagne, DR Trumbo, PE Salerno… - Communications …, 2021 - nature.com
Urban expansion can fundamentally alter wildlife movement and gene flow, but how urbanization
alters pathogen spread is poorly understood. Here, we combine high resolution host …

Hunting alters viral transmission and evolution in a large carnivore

…, DR Trumbo, M Charleston, PE Salerno… - Nature ecology & …, 2022 - nature.com
Hunting can fundamentally alter wildlife population dynamics but the consequences of hunting
on pathogen transmission and evolution remain poorly understood. Here, we present a …
