ecological and evolutionary implications of microrefugia by Mee, Jonathan A, Moore, Jean‐Sébastien, Linder, Peter

“…Pleistocene microrefugia (or cryptic refugia) may be distinguished from macrorefugia (or conventional refugia) on the basis of two characteristics. First,…”

Patterns of fish species distributions replicated across three parallel rivers suggest biotic zonation in response to a longitudinal temperature gradient by Mee, Jonathan A., Robins, Geneva L., Post, John R.

“…Environmental gradients determine the distributions of individual species, which, in turn, shape patterns of species assemblage across those gradients. We used…”

Mislabeled and ambiguous market names in invertebrate and finfish seafood conceal species of conservation concern in Calgary, Alberta, Canada by Morris, Matthew R J, Summers, Mindi M, Kwan, Morgan, Mee, Jonathan A, Rogers, Sean M

“…The mislabeling of seafood, wherein a food product's marketed name does not match its contents, has the potential to mask species of conservation concern. Less…”

Conditionally Deleterious Mutation Load Accumulates in Genomic Islands of Local Adaptation but Can Be Purged with Sufficient Genotypic Redundancy by Mee, Jonathan A, Carson, Bryce, Yeaman, Sam

“…AbstractLocal adaptation frequently evolves in patches or environments that are connected via migration. In these cases, genomic regions that are linked to a…”

Parallel and non-parallel divergence within polymorphic populations of brook stickleback, Culaea inconstans (Actinopterygii: Gasterosteidae) by Willerth, Kaitlyn, Franks, Emily, Mee, Jonathan A

“…Abstract Studying parallel evolution allows us to draw conclusions about the repeatability of adaptive evolution. Whereas populations likely experience similar…”

Identification of a candidate sex determination gene in Culaea inconstans suggests convergent recruitment of an Amh duplicate in two lineages of stickleback by Jeffries, Daniel L., Mee, Jonathan A., Peichel, Catherine L.

“…Sex chromosomes vary greatly in their age and levels of differentiation across the tree of life. This variation is largely due to the rates of sex chromosome…”

Same trait, different genes: pelvic spine loss in three brook stickleback populations in Alberta, Canada by Mee, Jonathan A, Ly, Carolyn, Pigott, Grace C

“…Abstract The genetic basis of phenotypic or adaptive parallelism can reveal much about constraints on evolution. This study investigated the genetic basis of a…”
