Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexually reproducing species. It is often
required for proper chromosome segregation and plays important role in adaptation and the …

Reshuffling of genetic variation occurs both by independent assortment of chromosomes
and by homologous recombination. Such reshuffling can generate novel allele combinations …

Plant pathogens are constantly under selection pressure for host resistance adaptation.
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines) is a major pest of soybean primarily …

A major aim of evolutionary biology is to understand why patterns of genomic diversity vary
within taxa and space. Large‐scale genomic studies of widespread species are useful for …

Recombination is a central evolutionary process that reshuffles combinations of alleles
along chromosomes, and consequently is expected to influence the efficacy of direct …

Ploidy has profound effects on evolution. Perhaps the most compelling effect is related to
dominance: In cells with more than one genome copy, the effects of non-dominant …

Abstract The Neutral Theory and the Modern Synthesis, a modified version of Darwin's
theory, have been arguing for decades about the influence of natural selection on molecular …
