Drift by drift: effective population size is limited by advection (2008)

Wares, John P, Pringle, James M

Abstract Background Genetic estimates of effective population size often generate surprising results, including dramatically low ratios of effective population size to census size. This is...

The Apicomplexan Whole-Genome Phylogeny: An Analysis of Incongruence among Gene Trees (2008)

Kuo, Chih-Horng, Wares, John P., Kissinger, Jessica C.

The protistan phylum Apicomplexa contains many important pathogens and is the subject of intense genome sequencing efforts. Based upon the genome sequences from seven apicomplexan species and a...

GEOGRAPHIC AND GENETIC VARIATION IN FEEDING PREFERENCE FOR CHEMICALLY DEFENDED SEAWEEDS (2003)

Erik E. Sotka, John P. Wares, Mark E. Hay

Genetic variation in tolerance for seaweed chemical defenses among populations of marine herbivores is poorly described, either because few marine studies have addressed the issue or because the...

PHYLOGEOGRAPHY AND HISTORICAL ECOLOGY OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC INTERTIDAL (2001)

John P. Wares, Clifford W. Cunningham

Recent glaciation covered the full extent of rocky intertidal habitat along the coasts of New England and the Canadian Maritimes. To test whether this glaciation in fact caused wholesale extinction...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ASYMMETRIC MIGRATION EVENTS ACROSS A MARINE BIOGEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARY (2001)

John P. Wares, Steven D. Gaines, Clifford W. Cunningham

In many nonclonal, benthic marine species, geographic distribution is mediated by the dispersal of their larvae. The dispersal and recruitment of marine larvae may be limited by temperature gradients...

Genetic effective size is three orders of magnitude smaller than adult census size in an abundant, Estuarine-dependent marine fish (Sciaenops ocellatus).

Turner, Thomas F, Wares, John P, Gold, John R

Using eight microsatellite loci and a variety of analytical methods, we estimated genetic effective size (N(e)) of an abundant and long-lived marine fish species, the red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus),...

Population divergence in plant species reflects latitudinal biodiversity gradients

Eo, Soo Hyung, Wares, John P, Carroll, John P

The trend for increasing biodiversity from the poles to the tropics is one of the best-known patterns in nature. This latitudinal biodiversity gradient has primarily been documented so far with...
