Epigenetic Variation May Compensate for Decreased Genetic Variation with Introductions: A Case Study Using House Sparrows ( Passer domesticus ) on Two Continents
Aaron W. Schrey,Courtney A. C. Coon,Michael T. Grispo,Mohammed Awad,Titus Imboma,Earl D. McCoy,Henry R. Mushinsky,Christina L. Richards,Lynn B. Martin +8 more
TL;DR: Methylation diversity was similar between populations, in spite of known lower genetic diversity in Nairobi, which suggests that epigenetic variation may compensate for decreased genetic diversity as a source of phenotypic variation during introduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broad-scale latitudinal patterns of genetic diversity among native European and introduced house sparrow (Passer domesticus) populations.
Aaron W. Schrey,M Grispo,M Awad,M B Cook,Earl D. McCoy,Henry R. Mushinsky,Tamer Albayrak,Staffan Bensch,Terry Burke,Luke K. Butler,Roi Dor,H B Fokidis,Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen,Titus Imboma,M M Kessler-Rios,Alfonso Marzal,Ian R. K. Stewart,Helena Westerdahl,David F. Westneat,Pavel Zehtindjiev,Lynn B. Martin +20 more
TL;DR: In both native and introduced populations, genetic diversity exhibited large‐scale geographic patterns, increasing towards the equator, concordant with two previously described models of genetic diversity, the latitudinal model and the species diversity model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in inflammation as a correlate of range expansion in Kenyan house sparrows
TL;DR: The goal of the present study was to determine whether damped inflammation generally facilitates invasion by comparing inflammatory markers between house sparrows invading Kenya and a native congener, and predicted that if inflammation mediated invasion success, Kenyan house sp Sparrows would mount weaker inflammatory responses than the native species.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article performed whole-genome sequencing of 1,338 E. coli isolates from 99 households across Nairobi, Kenya, to investigate its distribution among host species in this rapidly developing urban landscape.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dishon Muloi,James M. Hassell,Bryan A. Wee,Melissa J. Ward,Judy M. Bettridge,Velma Kivali,Alice N. Kiyong'a,Christine Ndinda,Nduhiu Gitahi,Tom T. Ouko,Titus Imboma,James M. Akoko,Maurice K.

Pedersen,Eric M. Fèvre,Mark E. J. Woolhouse +26 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a combination of genomics, epidemiology and ecology to investigate patterns of AMR gene carriage in Escherichia coli, regarded as a sentinel organism.
