Sea urchin bindin divergence predicts gamete compatibility.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2005

Zigler Kirk S, McCartney Michael A, Levitan Don R, Lessios H A

Abstract excerpt

Studies on the evolution of reproductive proteins have shown that they tend to evolve more rapidly than other proteins, frequently under positive selection. Progress on understanding the implications of these patterns is possible for marine invertebrates, where molecular evolution can be linked to gamete compatibility. In this study, we surveyed data from the literature from five genera of sea urchins for which...
