Reproductive isolation (RI) is a core concept in evolutionary biology. It has been the central
focus of speciation research since the modern synthesis and is the basis by which biological …

In the presence of recombination, the evolutionary relationships between a set of sampled
genomes cannot be described by a single genealogical tree. Instead, the genomes are …

In this paper we describe how to efficiently record the entire genetic history of a population in
forwards-time, individual-based population genetics simulations with arbitrary breeding …

Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. At the individual level, the three
stages of the dispersal process (ie, emigration, transience and immigration) are affected by …

Evaluating the factors that drive patterns of population differentiation in plants is critical for
understanding several biological processes such as local adaptation and incipient …

Many important questions about the history and dynamics of organisms have a geographical
component: How many are there, and where do they live? How do they move and interbreed …

Real geography is continuous, but standard models in population genetics are based on
discrete, well-mixed populations. As a result, many methods of analyzing genetic data …

A central goal of population genetics is to understand how genetic drift, natural selection,
and gene flow shape allele frequencies through time. However, the actual processes …

As a genetic mutation is passed down across generations, it distinguishes those genomes
that have inherited it from those that have not, providing a glimpse of the genealogical tree …

The influence of species life history traits and historical demography on contemporary
connectivity is still poorly understood. However, these factors partly determine the …
