    Genome-wide patterns of differentiation and spatially varying selection between postglacial recolonization lineages of Populus alba (Salicaceae), a widespread forest tree

    Stölting, Kai N. ; Paris, Margot ; Meier, Cécile ; Heinze, Berthold ; Castiglione, Stefano ; Bartha, Denes ; Lexer, Christian

    In: New Phytologist, 2015, vol. 207, no. 3, p. 723–734

    Studying the divergence continuum in plants is relevant to fundamental and applied biology because of the potential to reveal functionally important genetic variation. In this context, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) provides the necessary rigour for uncovering footprints of selection. We resequenced populations of two divergent phylogeographic lineages of Populus alba (n = 48), thoroughly...

    The use of digital image-based morphometrics to study the phenotypic mosaic in taxa with porous genomes

    Lexer, Christian ; Jeffrey, Joseph ; Loo, Marcela van ; Prenner, Gerhard ; Heinze, Berthold ; Chase, Mark W. ; Kirkup, Don

    In: Taxon, 2009, vol. 58, no. 2, p. 349-364

    Rapid recent developments in DNA sequencing and genetic marker technologies call for the establishment of cost-effective, automated phenotyping assays for evolutionary biology and systematics, so that the effects of DNA polymorphisms and epigenetic changes on the phenotype can be evaluated. We discuss the use of digital image-based morphometrics in evolutionary biology and systematics with...
