Ecological transition predictably associated with gene degeneration.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2015

Wessinger Carolyn A, Rausher Mark D

Abstract excerpt

Gene degeneration or loss can significantly contribute to phenotypic diversification, but may generate genetic constraints on future evolutionary trajectories, potentially restricting phenotypic reversal. Such constraints may manifest as directional evolutionary trends when parallel phenotypic shifts consistently involve gene degeneration or loss. Here, we demonstrate that widespread parallel evolution in...
