Structural genomic variants (SVs) are ubiquitous and play a major role in adaptation and
speciation. Yet, comparative and population genomics have focused predominantly on gene …

Inversions are structural mutations that reverse the sequence of a chromosome segment
and reduce the effective rate of recombination in the heterozygous state. They play a major …

How locally adapted ecotypes are established and maintained within a species is a long-
standing question in evolutionary biology. Using forest and prairie ecotypes of deer mice …

Maize is a globally valuable commodity and one of the most extensively studied genetic
model organisms. However, we know surprisingly little about the extent and potential utility …

Speciation is the process by which barriers to gene flow evolve between populations.
Although we now know that speciation is largely driven by natural selection, knowledge of …

Supergenes are sets of genes that are inherited as a single marker and encode complex
phenotypes through their joint action. They are identified in an increasing number of …

Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) have been known since almost the beginning of
genetics. While an important role for CRs in speciation has been suggested, evidence …

Research on the genomic architecture of speciation has increasingly revealed the
importance of structural variants (SVs) that affect the presence, abundance, position, and/or …

Chromosomal inversions are ubiquitous in genomes and often coordinate complex
phenotypes, such as the covariation of behavior and morphology in many birds, fishes …

Speciation is a key evolutionary process that is not yet fully understood. Combining
population genomic and ecological data from multiple diverging pairs of marine snails …
