Investigating the origin of parthenogenesis and ploidy level in Dahlica fennicella (Lepidoptera: Psychidae)
Chevasco, Verónica; Elzinga, Jelmer Anne; Galarza, Juan; Mappes, Johanna; Grapputo, Alessandro (Finnish Zoological and Botanical Publishing Board, 2013)The theories for the predominance of sexual reproduction predict that parthenogens should have no long-term evolutionary potential due to the lack of genetic recombination, despite short term advantages. Although parthenogenesis ... -
Variation in parasite resistance of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, between and within sympatric morphs
Karvonen, Anssi; Beck, Samantha V.; Skúlason, Skúli; Kristjánsson, Bjarni K.; Leblanc, Camille A. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)Genetic variation in resistance against parasite infections is a predominant feature in host–parasite systems. However, mechanisms maintaining genetic polymorphism in resistance in natural host populations are generally ... -
The parasitoid species complex associated with sexual and parthenogenetic Naryciinae (Lepidoptera: Psychidae): Integrating ecological and molecular analyses
Elzinga, Jelmer Anne; Zwakhals, Kees; Mappes, Johanna; Grapputo, Alessandro (Institute of Entomology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and Czech Entomological Society, 2011)This study describes the parasitoid species complex associated with seven closely related species of sexual (Siederia rupicollella, S. listerella, Dahlica lazuri, D. charlottae and D. lichenella) and parthenogenetic (Dahlica ... -
Large variation in mitochondrial DNA of sexual and parthenogenetic Dahlica triquetrella (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) shows multiple origins of parthenogenesis
Elzinga, Jelmer Anne; Jokela, Jukka; Shama, Lisa NS (BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Obligate parthenogenesis is relatively rare in animals. Still, in some groups it is quite common and has evolved and persisted multiple times. These groups may provide important clues to help solve the ‘ paradox ... -
Variation in gene expression within clones of the earthworm Dendrobaena octaedra
Mustonen, Marina; Haimi, Jari; Kesäniemi, Jenni; Högmander, Harri; Knott, Emily (Public Library of Science, 2017)Gene expression is highly plastic, which can help organisms to both acclimate and adapt to changing environments. Possible variation in gene expression among individuals with the same genotype (among clones) is not widely ...
