Innovation 4816: Caught in the act: Study probes evolution of California insect, 2014. sciencedaily/releases/2014/05/140515163836.htm “A first-of-its-kind study this week suggests that the genomes of new species may evolve in a similar, repeatable fashion – even in cases where populations are evolving in parallel at separate locations. Evolutionary biologists used a combination of ecological fieldwork and genomic assays to see how natural selection is playing out across the genome of a Southern California stick insect that is in the process of evolving into two unique species.” … “A team of evolutionary biologists at … used a combination of ecological fieldwork and genomic assays to see how natural selection is playing out across the genome of a Southern California stick insect that is in the process of evolving into two unique species.” “In particular, we found that there were regions of the genome that exhibited significant differences between populations from host plant 1 and host plant 2, regardless of where the individuals were collected …
