Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

The study of local adaptation is rendered difficult by many evolutionary confounding
phenomena (for example, genetic drift and demographic history). When complex traits are …

Identifying adaptive loci can provide insight into the mechanisms underlying local
adaptation. Genotype–environment association (GEA) methods, which identify these loci …

The r package pcadapt performs genome scans to detect genes under selection based on
population genomic data. It assumes that candidate markers are outliers with respect to how …

In population genomics studies, accounting for the neutral covariance structure across
population allele frequencies is critical to improve the robustness of genome-wide scan …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of the Bei**g lineage are globally distributed and are
associated with the massive spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis in Eurasia …

Although genome scans have become a popular approach towards understanding the
genetic basis of local adaptation, the field still does not have a firm grasp on how sampling …

Searching for genetic variants with unusual differentiation between subpopulations is an
established approach for identifying signals of natural selection. However, existing methods …

Modern humans inhabit a variety of environments and are exposed to a plethora of selective
pressures, leading to multiple genetic adaptations to local environmental conditions. These …

Estimating the rate of exchange of individuals among populations is a central concern to
evolutionary ecology and its applications to conservation and management. For instance …
