Predation Shapes the Evolutionary Traits of Cervid Weapons
July 4, 2019
Sexually selected weapons evolved to maximize the individual reproductive success of males in many polygynous breeding species. Many weapons are also retained outside of reproductive periods for secondary reasons, but the importance of these secondary functions is poorly understood. Here … read more

A Genome-wide Perspective On The Evolutionary History Of Enigmatic Wolf-like Canids
June 30, 2019
High-throughput genotyping technologies developed for model species can potentially increase the resolution of demographic history and ancestry in wild relatives. We use a SNP genotyping microarray developed for the domestic dog to assay variation in over 48K loci in wolf-like … read more
