Genome-wide allele frequency changes reveal that dynamic metapopulations evolve differently

P. Angst, C. R. Haag, F. Ben-Ami, P. D. Fields, D. Ebert

The paper analyzes SFS dynamics in a Daphnia magna metapopulation to show how propagule model and immigration influence allele frequency shifts compared to classical populations.

The gems of the Middle-East: Unveiling the biodiversity of Monogonont rotifers in temporary waterbodies of Israel

O. Hirshberg, S. Paraskevopoulou, K. Kiemel, F. Ben-Ami

This study identifies 39 Monogonont rotifer species in Israeli temporary ponds, with 25 new to the country, and links biodiversity patterns to environmental factors like altitude and temperature.

Causation without correlation: parasite-mediated frequency-dependent selection and infection prevalence

C. M. Lively, J. Xu, F. Ben-Ami

The paper uses simulations to show that host genetic diversity and infection prevalence can have a positive correlation under certain parasite virulence and fecundity conditions, but the correlation can also be weak or non-significant.

Estimation of the propensity for sexual selection in a cyclical parthenogen

D. Duneau, F. Altermatt, J.-B. Ferdy, F. Ben-ami, D. Ebert

The paper examines sexual selection in Daphnia magna by observing mating behavior and genetic markers, finding evidence of assortative mating and sperm competition.

Disentangling unspecific and specific transgenerational immune priming components inhost-parasite interactions

F. Ben-Ami, C. Orlic, R. R. Regoes

The paper disentangles specific and unspecific transgenerational immune priming effects in Daphnia magna using experiments and mathematical modeling, finding no specificity in transgenerational protection against parasite challenges.
