A chromosome-level genome assembly for the smoky rubyspot damselfly (Hetaerina titia) (2023)
Journal Article
Patterson, C. W., Bonillas-Monge, E., Brennan, A., Grether, G. F., Mendoza-Cuenca, L., Tucker, R., …Drury, J. (2024). A chromosome-level genome assembly for the smoky rubyspot damselfly (Hetaerina titia). Journal of Heredity, 115(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/jhered/esad070

Smoky rubyspot damselflies (Hetaerina titia Drury, 1773) are one of the most commonly encountered odonates along streams and rivers on both slopes of Central America and the Atlantic drainages in the US and southern Canada. Owing to their highly vari... Read More about A chromosome-level genome assembly for the smoky rubyspot damselfly (Hetaerina titia).

Trait evolution during a rapid global weed invasion despite little genetic differentiation (2023)
Journal Article
Irimia, R. E., Montesinos, D., Chaturvedi, A., Sanders, I., Hierro, J. L., Sotes, G., Cavieres, L. A., Eren, Ö., Lortie, C. J., French, K., & Brennan, A. C. (2023). Trait evolution during a rapid global weed invasion despite little genetic differentiation. Evolutionary Applications, 16(5), 997-1011. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13548

Invasive species often possess a great capacity to adapt to novel environments in the form of spatial trait variation, as a result of varying selection regimes, genetic drift, or plasticity. We explored the geographic differentiation in several pheno... Read More about Trait evolution during a rapid global weed invasion despite little genetic differentiation.

Inheritance of early and late Ascochyta blight resistance in wide crosses of chickpea (2023)
Journal Article
Lakmes, A., Jhar, A., Brennan, A. C., & Kahriman, A. (2023). Inheritance of early and late Ascochyta blight resistance in wide crosses of chickpea. Genes, 14(2), Article 316. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes14020316

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a globally important food legume but its yield is negatively impacted by the fungal pathogen Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei) causing necrotic lesions leading to plant death. Past studies have found that Ascochyta res... Read More about Inheritance of early and late Ascochyta blight resistance in wide crosses of chickpea.

Sources of variation in reciprocal herkogamy in the distyly floral syndrome of Linum tenue (Linaceae) (2023)
Journal Article
Foroozani, A., Desmond, E. L., Gough, C. A., Pérez-Barrales, R., & Brennan, A. C. (2023). Sources of variation in reciprocal herkogamy in the distyly floral syndrome of Linum tenue (Linaceae). International Journal of Plant Sciences, 184(2), 142-155. https://doi.org/10.1086/723564

Premise of research. Distyly is a floral polymorphism involving reciprocal herkogamy shaped by selection for pollen transfer efficiency. The variation of the floral organs involved in pollen transfer can be individually affected by environmental and...
