Experimental Evolution in a Warming World: The Omics Era
Santos, Marta A.; Carromeu-Santos, Ana; Quina, Ana S; Antunes, Marta; Kristensen, Torsten N; Santos, Mauro; Matos, MargaridaA comprehensive understanding of the genetic mechanisms that shape species responses to thermal variation is essential for more accurate predictions of the impacts of climate change on biodiversity. Experimental evolution with high-throughput resequencing approaches (evolve and resequence) is a highly effective tool that has been increasingly employed to elucidate the genetic basis of adaptation. The number of ...
Sex and population differences underlie variation in reproductive success in a ...
Santos, MA; Grandela, Afonso; Antunes, Marta; Quina, Ana S; Santos, Mauro; Matos, Margarida; Simões, PedroCurrent rising temperatures are threatening biodiversity. It is therefore crucial to understand how climate change impacts on male and female fertility and whether evolutionary responses can help in coping with heat stress. We use experimental evolution to study male and female fertility during real-time evolution of two historically differentiated populations of Drosophila subobscura under different thermal se...
