We will soon have complete genome sequences from thousands of species, as well as from
many individuals within species. This coming explosion of information will transform our …

As most biologists are probably aware, technological advances in molecular biology during
the last few years have opened up possibilities to rapidly generate large-scale sequencing …

Levels of genetic differentiation between populations can be highly variable across the
genome, with divergent selection contributing to such heterogeneous genomic divergence …

This paper is an overview of the diverse, predominantly molecular techniques, used in
assessing plant genetic diversity. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in …

Genomic scans of multiple populations often reveal marker loci with greatly increased
differentiation between populations. Often this differentiation coincides in space with …

Human harvest of animals in the wild occurs in terrestrial and aquatic habitats throughout
the world and is often intense. Harvest has the potential to cause three types of genetic …

What is the extent and scale of local adaptation (LA)? How quickly does LA arise? And what
is its underlying molecular basis? Our review and meta-analysis on salmonid fishes …

Microsatellites represent codominant molecular genetic markers, which are ubiquitously
distributed within genomes. Due to their high level of polymorphism, relatively small size and …

A central challenge in evolutionary biology is to identify genes underlying ecologically
important traits and describe the fitness consequences of naturally occurring variation at …

Here we critically review the scale and extent of adaptive genetic variation in Atlantic salmon
(Salmo salar L.), an important model system in evolutionary and conservation biology that …
