Journal Article
Abbott, R., & Brennan, A. (2014). Altitudinal gradients, plant hybrid zones and evolutionary novelty. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 369(1648), Article 20130346. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2013.0346

Altitudinal gradients are characterized by steep changes of the physical and biotic environment that present challenges to plant adaptation throughout large parts of the world. Hybrid zones may form where related species inhabit different neighbourin... Read More about Altitudinal gradients, plant hybrid zones and evolutionary novelty.

Interspecific crossing and genetic mapping reveal intrinsic genomic incompatibility between two Senecio species that form a hybrid zone on Mount Etna, Sicily (2014)
Journal Article
Brennan, A., Hiscock, S., & Abbott, R. (2014). Interspecific crossing and genetic mapping reveal intrinsic genomic incompatibility between two Senecio species that form a hybrid zone on Mount Etna, Sicily. Heredity, 113, 195-204. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.2014.14

Studies of hybridizing species can reveal much about the genetic basis and maintenance of species divergence in the face of gene flow. Here we report a genetic segregation and linkage analysis conducted on F2 progeny of a reciprocal cross between Sen...

The genetic structure of Arabidopsis thaliana in the south-western Mediterranean range reveals a shared history between North Africa and southern Europe (2014)
Journal Article
Brennan, A., Méndez-Vigo, B., Haddioui, A., Martínez-Zapater, J., Picó, F., & Alonso-Blanco, C. (2014). The genetic structure of Arabidopsis thaliana in the south-western Mediterranean range reveals a shared history between North Africa and southern Europe. BMC Plant Biology, 14, Article 17. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2229-14-17

Background Deciphering the genetic structure of Arabidopsis thaliana diversity across its geographic range provides the bases for elucidating the demographic history of this model plant. Despite the unique A. thaliana genomic resources currently avai...
