Signals of local adaptation have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the
heterogeneity in the distribution of adaptive genetic variation throughout species ranges. In …

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 …

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

Landscape genomics is an emerging research field that aims to identify the environmental
factors that shape adaptive genetic variation and the gene variants that drive local …

The interactions between organisms and their environments can shape distributions of
spatial genetic variation, resulting in patterns of isolation by environment (IBE) in which …

Warming and drought are reducing global crop production with a potential to substantially
worsen global malnutrition. As with the green revolution in the last century, plant genetics …

Closely related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments.
However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential and …

Local adaptation shapes species diversity, can be a step** stone to ecological speciation,
and can facilitate species range expansion. Population genetic analyses, which complement …

Improving environmental adaptation in crops is essential for food security under global
change, but phenoty** adaptive traits remains a major bottleneck. If associations between …

Climate change poses critical challenges for population persistence in natural communities,
for agriculture and environmental sustainability, and for food security. In this review, we …
