Phylogenomics of the genus Tursiops and closely related Delphininae reveals extensive reticulation among lineages and provides inference about eco-evolutionary drivers (2020)
Journal Article
Moura, A. E., Shreves, K., Pilot, M., Andrews, K. R., Moore, D. M., Kishida, T., …Rus Hoelzel, A. (2020). Phylogenomics of the genus Tursiops and closely related Delphininae reveals extensive reticulation among lineages and provides inference about eco-evolutionary drivers. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 146, Article 106756. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2020.106756

Phylogeographic inference has provided extensive insight into the relative roles of geographical isolation and ecological processes during evolutionary radiations. However, the importance of cross-lineage admixture in facilitating adaptive radiations...

Journal Article
Gridley, T., Elwen, S., Harris, G., Moore, D., Hoelzel, A., & Lampen, F. (2018). Hybridization in bottlenose dolphins—A case study of Tursiops aduncus × T. truncatus hybrids and successful backcross hybridization events. PLoS ONE, 13(9), Article e0201722. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0201722

The bottlenose dolphin, genus Tursiops is one of the best studied of all the Cetacea with a minimum of two species widely recognised. Common bottlenose dolphins (T. truncatus), are the cetacean species most frequently held in captivity and are known...

Genomics of habitat choice and adaptive evolution in a deep-sea fish (2018)
Journal Article
Gaither, M. R., Gkafas, G. A., de Jong, M., Sarigol, F., Neat, F., Regnier, T., …Hoelzel, A. R. (2018). Genomics of habitat choice and adaptive evolution in a deep-sea fish. Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2(4), 680-687. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-018-0482-x

Intraspecific diversity promotes evolutionary change, and when partitioned among geographic regions or habitats can form the basis for speciation. Marine species live in an environment that can provide as much scope for diversification in the vertica... Read More about Genomics of habitat choice and adaptive evolution in a deep-sea fish.
