Navigating the temporal continuum of effective population size
Effective population size, Ne, is a key evolutionary parameter that determines the levels of
genetic variation and efficacy of selection. Estimation and interpretation of Ne are essential …

The long‐standing significance of genetic diversity in conservation
Since allozymes were first used to assess genetic diversity in the 1960s and 1970s,
biologists have attempted to characterize gene pools and conserve the diversity observed in …

The contribution of historical processes to contemporary extinction risk in placental mammals
Species persistence can be influenced by the amount, type, and distribution of diversity
across the genome, suggesting a potential relationship between historical demography and …

Discovery and population genomics of structural variation in a songbird genus
Structural variation (SV) constitutes an important type of genetic mutations providing the raw
material for evolution. Here, we uncover the genome-wide spectrum of intra-and interspecific …

The evolution of comparative phylogeography: putting the geography (and more) into comparative population genomics
Comparative population genomics is an ascendant field using genomic comparisons
between species to draw inferences about forces regulating genetic variation. Comparative …

[PDF][PDF] How can we resolve Lewontin's paradox?
We discuss the genetic, demographic, and selective forces that are likely to be at play in
restricting observed levels of DNA sequence variation in natural populations to a much …

Contrasting whole-genome and reduced representation sequencing for population demographic and adaptive inference: an alpine mammal case study
Genomes capture the adaptive and demographic history of a species, but the choice of
sequencing strategy and sample size can impact such inferences. We compared whole …

Island songbirds as windows into evolution in small populations
Due to their limited ranges and inherent isolation, island species have long been recognized
as crucial systems for tackling a range of evolutionary questions, including in the early study …
