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 …

Holistic insect monitoring needs scalable techniques to overcome taxon biases, determine
species abundances, and gather functional traits for all species. This requires that we …

Chromosomal inversions are an important form of structural variation that can affect
recombination, chromosome structure and fitness. However, because inversions can be …

Low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) has emerged as a powerful and cost‐
effective approach for population genomic studies in both model and nonmodel species …

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 …

In the formation of species, adaptation by natural selection generates distinct combinations
of traits that function well together. The maintenance of adaptive trait combinations in the …

At the Rowley Shoals in Western Australia, the prominent reef flat becomes exposed on low
tide and the stagnant water in the shallow atoll lagoons heats up, creating a natural …

The genetic architecture of a phenotype can have considerable effects on the evolution of a
trait or species. Characterizing genetic architecture provides insight into the complexity of a …

Repeated evolution can provide insight into the mechanisms that facilitate adaptation to
novel or changing environments. Here we study adaptation to altitude in two tropical …

Local adaptation is facilitated by loci clustered in relatively few regions of the genome,
termed genomic islands of divergence. The mechanisms that create and maintain these …
