Candidate gene polymorphisms are linked to dispersive and migratory behaviour: searching for a mechanism behind the "paradox of the great speciators"
<p>The "paradox of the great speciators" has puzzled evolutionary biologists for over half a century. A great speciator requires excellent dispersal <span>propensity</span> to explain <span>its</span> occurrence on multiple islands, but reduced dispersal ability to explain <span>its</span> high number of subspecies. A rapid reduction in dispersal ability is often invoked to solve this apparent paradox, but a proximate mechanism has not been identified yet. Here, we explored the role of six genes linked to migration and animal personality differences (<em>CREB1, CLOCK, ADCYAP1, NPAS2, DRD4, </em>and<em> SERT</em>) in 20 South Pacific populations of silvereye (<em>Zosterops</em> <em>lateralis</em>) that range from highly sedentary to partially migratory, to determine if genetic variation is associated with dispersal propensity and migration. We detected genetic associations in three of the six genes: i) in a partial migrant population, migrant individuals had longer microsatellite alleles at the <em>CLOCK</em> gene compared to resident individuals from the same population; ii) <em>CREB1</em> displayed longer average microsatellite allele lengths in recently colonised island populations (< 200 years), compared to evolutionarily older populations. Bayesian broken stick regression models supported a reduction in <em>CREB1</em> length with time since colonisation; and iii) like <em>CREB1</em>, <em>DRD4</em> showed differences in polymorphisms between recent and old colonisations but a <span>larger</span> sample is needed to confirm. <em>ADCYAP1</em>, <em>SERT</em>, and <em>NPAS2</em> were variable but that variation was not associated with dispersal propensity. The association of genetic variants at three genes with migration <span>and</span> dispersal ability in silvereyes provides the impetus for further exploration of genetic mechanisms underlying dispersal shifts and the prospect of resolving a long-running evolutionary paradox through a genetic lens.</p>
Scent of a killer: How could killer yeast boost its dispersal?
<p>Vector-borne parasites often manipulate hosts to attract uninfected vectors. For example, parasites causing malaria alter host odor to attract mosquitoes. Here we discuss the ecology and evolution of fruit-colonizing yeast in a tripartite symbiosis – the so-called "killer yeast" system. "Killer yeast" consists of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> yeast hosting two double stranded RNA viruses (M satellite dsRNAs, L-A dsRNA helper virus). When both dsRNA viruses occur in a yeast cell, the yeast converts to lethal toxin‑producing "killer yeast" phenotype that kills uninfected yeasts. Yeasts on ephemeral fruits attract insect vectors to colonize new habitats. As the viruses have no extracellular stage, they depend on the same insect vectors as yeast for their dispersal. Viruses also benefit from yeast dispersal as this promotes yeast to reproduce sexually, which is how viruses can transmit to uninfected yeast strains. We tested whether insect vectors are more attracted to killer yeasts than to non‑killer yeasts. In our field experiment, we found that killer yeasts were more attractive to <i>Drosophila</i> than non-killer yeasts. This suggests that vectors foraging on yeast are more likely to transmit yeast with a killer phenotype, allowing the viruses to colonize those uninfected yeast strains that engage in sexual reproduction with the killer yeast. Beyond insights into the basic ecology of the killer yeast system, our results suggest that viruses could increase transmission success by manipulating the insect vectors of their host.</p>

Modelling long-distance seed dispersal of Spathodea campanulata in the Society Islands
<p>These datasets are related to the paper "Modelling long-distance seed dispersal of the invasive tree <em>Spathodea campanulata</em> in the Society Islands" published in Ecological Applications. We used a 3-D kinematic trajectory model (Computing Atmospheric Trajectory tool (CAT)) initiated from regional wind field data to assess the potential for long-distance seed dispersal (LDD) of a wind-dispersed invasive tree, <em>Spathodea campanulata</em> (African tulip tree) across the Society Islands (French Polynesia, South Pacific Ocean) following its initial planting and spread on the island of Tahiti. The main objective of our study was to determine whether <em>S. campanulata</em> can be expected to spread naturally among islands. Atmospheric dynamics, seed terminal velocity, precipitation, and temperature of air masses were considered to assess the potential for LDD between oceanic islands, with the island of Tahiti serving as the island source for multiple, geographically distant invasions. These datasets contain the number of simulated seed trajectories with Computing Atmospheric Trajectory tool (CAT) in the study area as well as all data corresponding to each figure found in the paper.</p>
