The evolution and function of carotenoid hydroxylases in Arabidopsis.
- J. Kim, J. Smith, Li Tian, D. DellaPenna
- Biology, Medicine
- Plant & cell physiology
- 1 March 2009
To gain insight into the evolution of xanthophyll synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana, we analyzed two pairs of duplicated carotenoid hydroxylase enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana: the cytochrome P450… Expand
Allopatric genetic origins for sympatric host-plant shifts and race formation in Rhagoletis
- J. Feder, S. Berlocher, +7 authors M. Aluja
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 19 August 2003
Tephritid fruit flies belonging to the Rhagoletis pomonella sibling species complex are controversial because they have been proposed to diverge in sympatry (in the absence of geographic isolation)… Expand
Sequential Sympatric Speciation Across Trophic Levels
- A. Forbes, T. H. Powell, L. Stelinski, J. Smith, J. Feder
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 6 February 2009
A major cause for biodiversity may be biodiversity itself. As new species form, they may create new niches for others to exploit, potentially catalyzing a chain reaction of speciation events across… Expand
Conditions for sympatric speciation: A diploid model incorporating habitat fidelity and non-habitat assortative mating
- P. Johnson, F. Hoppensteadt, J. Smith, G. L. Bush
- Biology
- Evolutionary Ecology
- 1 March 1996
SummaryThree types of genes have been proposed to promote sympatric speciation: habitat preference genes, assortative mating genes and habitat-based fitness genes. Previous computer models have… Expand
Phylogeny of the genus Rhagoletis (Diptera: Tephritidae) inferred from DNA sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II.
- J. Smith, G. L. Bush
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 February 1997
Despite a considerable literature describing the biology of flies in the tephritid genus Rhagoletis, the phylogenetic relationships of the more than 60 species classified within the genus are not… Expand
Sequential divergence and the multiplicative origin of community diversity
- G. R. Hood, A. Forbes, +4 authors J. Feder
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 23 October 2015
Significance Understanding how new life forms originate is a central question in biology. Population divergence is usually studied with respect to how single lineages diverge into daughter taxa.… Expand

- Biology
- 1998
Recently, several outbreaks of brown rot caused by Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Smith biovar 2, race 3 were reported in Western Europe. Knowledge of the variation in the population of the target… Expand
