Reliable Detection of Loci Responsible for Local Adaptation: Inference of a Null Model through Trimming the Distribution of FST
Loci responsible for local adaptation are likely to have more genetic differentiation among
populations than neutral loci. However, neutral loci can vary widely in their amount of …

Evaluation of demographic history and neutral parameterization on the performance of FST outlier tests
FST outlier tests are a potentially powerful way to detect genetic loci under spatially
divergent selection. Unfortunately, the extent to which these tests are robust to …

Pervasive selection or is it…? why are FST outliers sometimes so frequent?
It is now common for population geneticists to estimate FST for a large number of loci across
the genome, before testing for selected loci as being outliers to the FST distribution. One …

Local interspecies introgression is the main cause of extreme levels of intraspecific differentiation in mussels
Structured populations, and replicated zones of contact between species, are an ideal
opportunity to study regions of the genome with unusual levels of differentiation; and these …
