1. Sex ratio theory predicts that developmental mortality can affect sex ratio optima under Local Mate Competition and also lead to ‘virgin’ broods containing only females with no sibling-mating opportunities on maturity.
2. Estimates of development... Read More about Parasitoid developmental mortality in the field: patterns, causes and consequences for sex ratio and virginity.

Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Vent.) was one of the most widely distributed crop species in prehistoric Oceania, occurring from continental East Asia to the Polynesian islands. Its broad distribution is largely due to human-mediated di...

Bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) is a globally significant crop, but the structure of genetic variation within and among populations is poorly understood. We broadly surveyed genetic variation in a cultivated onion germplasm using simple sequence repeat (...

Distinct migratory and non-migratory ecotypes of an endemic New Zealand eleotrid (Gobiomorphus cotidianus) – implications for incipient speciation in island freshwater fish species (2008)
Journal Article

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 8(1), Article 49. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-8-49

Background. Many postglacial lakes contain fish species with distinct ecomorphs. Similar evolutionary scenarios might be acting on evolutionarily young fish communities in lakes of remote islands. One process that drives diversification in island fre...
