The population genetics of host specificity: genetic differentiation in dove lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera)
- K. Johnson, B. L. Williams, Devin M Drown, R. J. Adams, D. Clayton
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 January 2002
Some species of parasites occur on a wide range of hosts while others are restricted to one or a few host species. The host specificity of a parasite species is determined, in part, by its ability to… Expand
Dos and don'ts of testing the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution
- R. Gomulkiewicz, Devin M Drown, +6 authors J. Yoder
- Biology, Medicine
- Heredity
- 1 May 2007
The geographic mosaic theory of coevolution is stimulating much new research on interspecific interactions. We provide a guide to the fundamental components of the theory, its processes and main… Expand
CRITICAL EVALUATION OF FIVE METHODS FOR QUANTIFYING CHEWING LICE (INSECTA: PHTHIRAPTERA)
- D. Clayton, Devin M Drown
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of parasitology
- 1 December 2001
Five methods for estimating the abundance of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) were tested. To evaluate the methods, feral pigeons (Columba livia) and 2 species of ischnoceran lice were used. The… Expand
Low humidity reduces ectoparasite pressure: implications for host life history evolution
- Brett R. Moyer, Devin M Drown, D. Clayton
- Biology
- 1 May 2002
A parasite's potential effect, or “pressure”, can influence the life history strategy of its host. In environments with high parasite pressure, hosts invest more in anti-parasite defense, which may… Expand
The absence of genotypic diversity in a successful parthenogenetic invader
- M. Dybdahl, Devin M Drown
- Biology
- Biological Invasions
- 1 July 2011
Invasiveness might depend on the ability of genetically diverse populations of exotic species to adapt to novel environments, which suggests a paradox since exotic species are expected to lose… Expand
Evidence of a Paucity of Genes That Interact with the Mitochondrion on the X in Mammals
- Devin M Drown, Kevin M. Preuss, M. Wade
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome biology and evolution
- 19 July 2012
Mitochondria are essential organelles whose replication, development, and physiology are dependent upon coordinated gene interactions with both the mitochondrial and the nuclear genomes. The… Expand
A data based parsimony method of cophylogenetic analysis
- K. Johnson, Devin M Drown, D. Clayton
- Biology
- 1 April 2001
Phylogenies of closely interacting groups, such as hosts and parasites, are seldom completely congruent. Incongruence can arise from biologically meaningful differences in the histories of the two… Expand
RUNAWAY COEVOLUTION: ADAPTATION TO HERITABLE AND NONHERITABLE ENVIRONMENTS
- Devin M Drown, M. Wade
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 October 2014
Populations evolve in response to the external environment, whether abiotic (e.g., climate) or biotic (e.g., other conspecifics). We investigated how adaptation to biotic, heritable environments… Expand
Invasive genotypes are opportunistic specialists not general purpose genotypes
- Devin M Drown, E. P. Levri, M. Dybdahl
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolutionary applications
- 3 August 2010
It is not clear which forms of plasticity in fitness‐related traits are associated with invasive species. On one hand, it may be better to have a robust performance across environments. On the other,… Expand
Genetic identity determines risk of post-settlement mortality of a marine fish.
- L. Vigliola, P. Doherty, M. Meekan, Devin M Drown, M. Jones, P. Barber
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology
- 1 May 2007
Longitudinal sampling of four cohorts of Neopomacentrus filamentosus, a common tropical damselfish from Dampier Archipelago, Western Australia, revealed the evolution of size structure after… Expand
