Chromosomal inversions have long fascinated evolutionary biologists due to their
suppression of recombination, which can protect co-adapted alleles. Emerging research …

Thinking about the evolutionary causes and consequences of trait correlations has been
dominated by quantitative genetics theory that is focused on hypothetical loci. Since this …

Atlantic cod is composed of multiple migratory and stationary populations widely distributed
in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Northeast Arctic cod (NEAC) population in the Barents Sea …

Chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions can play a crucial role in maintaining
polymorphism underlying complex traits and contribute to the process of speciation. In …

Behavioral evolution relies on genetic changes, yet few behaviors can be traced to specific
genetic sequences in vertebrates. Here we provide experimental evidence showing that …

Behaviour is a key interface between an animal's genome and its environment. Repeatable
individual differences in behaviour have been extensively documented in animals, but the …

Nervous systems allow animals to acutely respond and behaviorally adapt to changes and
recurring patterns in their environment at multiple timescales—from milliseconds to years …

Genetic and genomic architectures of traits under selection are key factors influencing
evolutionary responses. Yet, knowledge of their impacts has been limited by a widespread …

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviral remnants integrated in host
genomes, and commonly deleted through unequal homologous recombination, leaving …

Clownfishes are an iconic group of coral reef fishes that evolved a mutualistic interaction
with sea anemones, which triggered the rapid diversification of the group. Following the …
