Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia (2013)
Journal Article
Maccari, M., Amat, F., & Gómez, A. (2013). Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia. PLoS ONE, 8(12), e83348. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0083348

There is wide interest in understanding how genetic diversity is generated and maintained in parthenogenetic lineages, as it will help clarify the debate of the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction. There are three mechanisms that can be... Read More about Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia.

Colonization and dispersal patterns of the invasive American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in the Mediterranean region (2013)
Journal Article
Muñoz, J., Gómez, A., Figuerola, J., Amat, F., Rico, C., & Green, A. J. (2014). Colonization and dispersal patterns of the invasive American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in the Mediterranean region. Hydrobiologia, 726(1), 25-41. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-013-1748-6

Cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana are harvested from the Great Salt Lake (GSL) and San Francisco Bay (SFB) saltworks in the USA, and marketed worldwide to provide live food for aquaculture. This species has become invasive across several...

Bird migratory flyways influence the phylogeography of the invasive brine shrimp Artemia franciscana in its native American range (2013)
Journal Article
Muñoz, J., Amat, F., Green, A. J., Figuerola, J., & Gómez, A. (2013). Bird migratory flyways influence the phylogeography of the invasive brine shrimp Artemia franciscana in its native American range. PeerJ, 2013(1), e200. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.200

Since Darwin’s time, waterbirds have been considered an important vector for the dispersal of continental aquatic invertebrates. Bird movements have facilitated the worldwide invasion of the American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana, transporting cys...

The genetics and evolutionary dynamics of sexual system evolution in tadpole shrimps (2013)
Thesis
Mathers, T. C. (2013). The genetics and evolutionary dynamics of sexual system evolution in tadpole shrimps. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216243

Sexual reproduction is found throughout the eukaryote tree of life and fundamentally affects the organisms that practice it. In particular, the sexual system of an organism can influence genetic diversity, population structure, genome structure, the...

Functional rare males in diploid parthenogenetic Artemia (2013)
Journal Article
Maccari, M., Gómez, A., Hontoria, F., & Amat, F. (2013). Functional rare males in diploid parthenogenetic Artemia. Journal of evolutionary biology, 26(9), 1934-1948. https://doi.org/10.1111/jeb.12191

Functional males that are produced occasionally in some asexual taxa - called 'rare males' - raise considerable evolutionary interest, as they might be involved in the origin of new parthenogenetic lineages. Diploid parthenogenetic Artemia produce ra... Read More about Functional rare males in diploid parthenogenetic Artemia.

Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of 'living fossils' (2013)
Journal Article
Mathers, T. C., Hammond, R. L., Jenner, R. A., Hänfling, B., & Gomez, A. (2013). Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of 'living fossils'. PeerJ, 1, e62. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.62

‘Living fossils’, a phrase first coined by Darwin, are defined as species with limited recent diversification and high morphological stasis over long periods of evolutionary time. Morphological stasis, however, can potentially lead to diversification... Read More about Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of 'living fossils'.

High lability of sexual system over 250 million years of evolution in morphologically conservative tadpole shrimps (2013)
Journal Article
Mathers, T. C., Jenner, R. A., Zierold, T., Hammond, R. L., Hänfling, B., & Gomez, A. (2013). High lability of sexual system over 250 million years of evolution in morphologically conservative tadpole shrimps. BMC evolutionary biology, 13(1), 30. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-13-30

Background Sexual system is a key factor affecting the genetic diversity, population structure, genome structure and the evolutionary potential of species. The sexual system androdioecy – where males and hermaphrodites coexist in populations – is ext...
