Hybridization and extinction

M Todesco, MA Pascual, GL Owens… - Evolutionary …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swamping, where the rare
form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swamping, where population growth rates are …

Antibiotics and antiseptics for surgical wounds healing by secondary intention

…, DP Mohapatra, GL Owens… - Cochrane Database …, 2016 - cochranelibrary.com
Background Following surgery, incisions are usually closed by fixing the edges together with
sutures (stitches), staples, adhesives (glue) or clips. This process helps the cut edges heal …

[HTML][HTML] The sunflower genome provides insights into oil metabolism, flowering and Asterid evolution

…, SE Staton, L Cottret, C Lelandais-Brière, GL Owens… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The domesticated sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., is a global oil crop that has promise for
climate change adaptation, because it can maintain stable yields across a wide variety of …

Massive haplotypes underlie ecotypic differentiation in sunflowers

M Todesco, GL Owens, N Bercovich, JS Légaré… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Species often include multiple ecotypes that are adapted to different environments 1 .
However, it is unclear how ecotypes arise and how their distinctive combinations of adaptive …

Origins and evolution of extreme life span in Pacific Ocean rockfishes

SRR Kolora, GL Owens, JM Vazquez, A Stubbs… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Pacific Ocean rockfishes (genus Sebastes) exhibit extreme variation in life span, with some
species being among the most long-lived extant vertebrates. We de novo assembled the …

Sunflower pan-genome analysis shows that hybridization altered gene content and disease resistance

…, E Ziegler, JS Lee, GJ Baute, GL Owens… - Nature plants, 2019 - nature.com
Domesticated plants and animals often display dramatic responses to selection, but the
origins of the genetic diversity underlying these responses remain poorly understood. Despite …

The genomics of linkage drag in inbred lines of sunflower

…, S Vautrin, A Bellec, GL Owens… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Crop wild relatives represent valuable sources of alleles for crop improvement, including
adaptation to climate change and emerging diseases. However, introgressions from wild …

Gene flow and selection interact to promote adaptive divergence in regions of low recombination

K Samuk, GL Owens, KE Delmore, SE Miller… - Molecular …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Adaptation to new environments often occurs in the face of gene flow. Under these
conditions, gene flow and recombination can impede adaptation by breaking down linkage …

[PDF][PDF] The genetics of seasonal migration and plumage color

KE Delmore, DPL Toews, RR Germain, GL Owens… - Current Biology, 2016 - cell.com
Details on the genetics of behavioral and quantitative phenotypes remain limited to a few
organisms. Such information is central to understanding both adaptation and speciation, as …
