Maternal patterns of inheritance alter transcript expression in eggs
BMC GENOMICS, 24(1).
author keywords: Maternal effects; regulatory evolution; EvoDevo; parental genetic effects
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; RNA, Messenger, Stored / genetics; Reproduction; Larva; Biological Evolution; RNA, Messenger / genetics
TL;DR:
It is found that maternally controlled initiation of development is functionally distinct between eggs of different sizes and maternal genotypes, and both allele-specific effects and parent-of-origin effects contribute to gene expression differences in eggs.

The role of heterochronic gene expression and regulatory architecture in early developmental divergence
Harry, N. D., & Zakas, C. (2023, August 18).
TL;DR:
Using comparative RNAseq through ontogeny, it is found that only a small proportion of genes are differentially expressed at any time, despite major differences in larval development and life-history.

Streblospio benedicti: A genetic model for understanding the evolution of development and life-history
EMERGING MODEL SYSTEMS IN DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY, Vol. 147, pp. 496–520.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Female; Larva / genetics; Models, Genetic; Phenotype; Polychaeta / genetics
TL;DR:
Because the offspring phenotypes of S. benedicti are heritable, forward genetics within a single evolutionary lineage can be used to disentangle how development evolves, and which genes and regulatory mechanisms are involved.

Ed(s): D. Lavrov
author keywords: poecilogony; life-history evolution; developmental genomics; Lophotrochozoa
MeSH headings : Animals; Annelida / genetics; Larva / genetics; Phylogeny; Polychaeta / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA
TL;DR:
An annotated chromosomal-level genome assembly of S. benedicti is presented, which is the largest annelid genome to date that has been assembled to chromosomal scaffolds, yet it does not show evidence of extensive gene family expansion, but rather longer intergenic regions.

author keywords: Evolution of development; larval ecology; Life-history evolution; maternal effects; quantitative genetics; Streblospio benedicti
MeSH headings : Animals; Fathers; Female; Humans; Larva / genetics; Male; Phenotype; Polychaeta / genetics; Zygote
TL;DR:
A four-generation experimental pedigree is used to estimate the genetic architecture of early-life phenotypes in a species with dramatic variation in larval size and morphology and determined that larval anatomical structures are governed by the offspring genotype at a small number of large-effect loci.

Gene-based polymorphisms reveal limited genomic divergence in a species with a heritable life-history dimorphism
Evolution & Development, 17(4), 240–247.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; California; Female; Gene Flow; Male; Molecular Sequence Data; New Jersey; Polychaeta / genetics; Polychaeta / growth & development; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Sequence Analysis, DNA
TL;DR:
The data suggest that the evolution of a genetic developmental dimorphism is not associated with longstanding genetic isolation or genomically extensive divergence, rather, differences at developmentally important loci, or modest allele‐frequency differences at many loci may be responsible for the drastic life‐history differences.

TL;DR:
A large maternal effect on larval size and the number of larval chaetae is found, while the number and length of these Chaetae were also strongly influenced by zygotic genotype.

Asymmetric Dispersal Can Maintain Larval Polymorphism: A Model Motivated by Streblospio benedicti
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 52(1), 197–212.
MeSH headings : Alleles; Animals; Body Size / physiology; Computer Simulation; Ecosystem; Female; Fertility; Gene Frequency; Genetic Variation; Genotype; Haploidy; Larva / genetics; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; Male; Models, Biological; Phenotype; Polychaeta / genetics; Polychaeta / growth & development; Polychaeta / physiology; Population Dynamics; Selection, Genetic; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
This study uses analytical models of dispersal to determine the conditions necessary for a stable dispersal polymorphism to exist and shows that in asexual haploid, sexual haploids, and in sexual diploids in the absence of overdominance, asymmetric dispersal is required in order to maintain a dispersed polymorphism when patches do not vary in intrinsic quality.

Consequences of a poecilogonous life history for genetic structure in coastal populations of the polychaete Streblospio benedicti
Molecular Ecology, 21(22), 5447–5460.
MeSH headings : Animals; Gene Flow; Genetics, Population; Genotyping Techniques; Geography; Larva / genetics; Larva / growth & development; Phenotype; Polychaeta / genetics; Polychaeta / growth & development; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; United States
TL;DR:
It is found that in their native East Coast distribution, populations of S. benedicti have high‐population genetic structure, but this structure is associated primarily with geographic separation rather than developmental differences, suggesting that this is a true case of poecilogony.

Restricted gene flow in Chilean barnacles reflects an oceanographic and biogeographic transition zone
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 394, 165–177.
author keywords: Phylogeography; Oceanography; Intertidal; Chile; Barnacle; Upwelling; Recruitment
TL;DR:
A distinct break in haplotype fre- quencies in the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene was detected in N. scabrosus, with only marginal genetic structure observed in J. cirratus, suggesting significant differences in either selective pressures or dispersal ability between the species.

TL;DR:
It is suggested that resources lost by halving egg size have a larger effect on larval survival and juvenile quality than those lost by withholding particulate food.
