Genetics and evidence for balancing selection of a sex-linked colour polymorphism in a songbird (2019)
Journal Article
Kim, K.-W., Jackson, B. C., Zhang, H., Toews, D. P. L., Taylor, S. A., Greig, E. I., Lovette, I. J., Liu, M. M., Davison, A., Griffith, S. C., Zeng, K., & Burke, T. (2019). Genetics and evidence for balancing selection of a sex-linked colour polymorphism in a songbird. Nature Communications, 10(1), Article 1852. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09806-6

Colour polymorphisms play a key role in sexual selection and speciation, yet the mechanisms that generate and maintain them are not fully understood. Here, we use genomic and transcriptomic tools to identify the precise genetic architecture and evolu...

Temporal expression profile of an accessory-gland protein that is transferred via the seminal fluid of the simultaneous hermaphrodite Lymnaea stagnalis (2019)
Journal Article
Swart, E. M., Davison, A., Ellers, J., Filangieri, R. R., Jackson, D. J., Mariën, J., Van Der Ouderaa, I. B., Roelofs, D., & Koene, J. M. (2019). Temporal expression profile of an accessory-gland protein that is transferred via the seminal fluid of the simultaneous hermaphrodite Lymnaea stagnalis. Journal of Molluscan Studies, 85(2), 177-183. https://doi.org/10.1093/mollus/eyz005

Male accessory-gland proteins are known to affect female physiology in multiple ways, maximizing a male's reproductive success-often at a cost to the female. Due to this inherent sexual conflict, accessory gland proteins (ACPs) are generally studied...

Discrete or indiscrete? Redefining the colour polymorphism of the land snail Cepaea nemoralis (2019)
Journal Article
Davison, A., Jackson, H. J., Murphy, E. W., & Reader, T. (2019). Discrete or indiscrete? Redefining the colour polymorphism of the land snail Cepaea nemoralis. Heredity, 123(2), 162-175. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41437-019-0189-z

Biologists have long tried to describe and name the different phenotypes that make up the shell polymorphism of the land snail Cepaea nemoralis. Traditionally, the view is that the ground colour of the shell is one of a few major colour classes, eith... Read More about Discrete or indiscrete?

Recombination within the Cepaea nemoralis supergene is confounded by incomplete penetrance and epistasis (2019)
Journal Article
Ramos Gonzalez, D., Aramendia, A. C., & Davison, A. (2019). Recombination within the Cepaea nemoralis supergene is confounded by incomplete penetrance and epistasis. Heredity, 123(2), 153-161. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41437-019-0190-6

Although the land snail Cepaea nemoralis is one of the most thoroughly investigated colour polymorphic species, there have been few recent studies on the inheritance of the shell traits. Previously, it has been shown that the shell polymorphism is co... Read More about Recombination within the Cepaea nemoralis supergene is confounded by incomplete penetrance and epistasis.
