Reproductive isolation in a three‐way contact zone (2024)
Journal Article
Dean, L. L., Whiting, J. R., Jones, F. C., & MacColl, A. D. C. (2024). Reproductive isolation in a three‐way contact zone. Molecular Ecology, 33(5), Article e17275. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.17275

Contact zones between divergent forms within a species provide insight into the role of gene flow in adaptation and speciation. Previous work has focused on contact zones involving only two divergent forms, but in nature, many more than two populatio... Read More about Reproductive isolation in a three‐way contact zone.

On the origins of phenotypic parallelism in benthic and limnetic stickleback (2023)
Journal Article
Dean, L. L., Magalhaes, I. S., D’Agostino, D., Hohenlohe, P., & MacColl, A. D. C. (2023). On the origins of phenotypic parallelism in benthic and limnetic stickleback. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 40(9), Article msad191. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad191

Rapid evolution of similar phenotypes in similar environments, giving rise to in situ parallel adaptation, is an important hallmark of ecological speciation. However, what appears to be in situ adaptation can also arise by dispersal of divergent line... Read More about On the origins of phenotypic parallelism in benthic and limnetic stickleback.

Courtship behavior, nesting microhabitat, and assortative mating in sympatric stickleback species pairs (2021)
Journal Article
Dean, L. L., Dunstan, H. R., Reddish, A., & MacColl, A. D. C. (2021). Courtship behavior, nesting microhabitat, and assortative mating in sympatric stickleback species pairs. Ecology and Evolution, 11(4), 1741-1755. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7164

© 2021 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The maintenance of reproductive isolation in the face of gene flow is a particularly contentious topic, but differences in reproductive behavior may provide the key to ex...

Admixture between ancient lineages, selection, and the formation of sympatric stickleback species-pairs (2019)
Journal Article
Dean, L. L., Magalhaes, I. S., Foote, A., D’Agostino, D., McGowan, S., & MacColl, A. D. (2019). Admixture between ancient lineages, selection, and the formation of sympatric stickleback species-pairs. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 36(11), 2481-2497. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msz161

Ecological speciation has become a popular model for the development and maintenance of reproductive isolation in closely related sympatric pairs of species or ecotypes. An implicit assumption has been that such pairs originate (possibly with gene fl...

Internal embryonic development in a non-copulatory, egg-laying teleost, the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus (2019)
Journal Article
Dean, L. L., Robertson, S., Mahmud, M., & Maccoll, A. D. C. (2019). Internal embryonic development in a non-copulatory, egg-laying teleost, the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus. Scientific Reports, 9(1), Article 2395. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-38584-w

The switch from egg-laying to retaining and giving birth to live young is a major transition in the history of life. Despite its repeated evolution across the fishes, records of intermediate phenotypes are vanishingly rare, with only two known cases...
