Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Recombination, the exchange of DNA between maternal and paternal chromosomes during
meiosis, is an essential feature of sexual reproduction in nearly all multicellular organisms …

Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in
human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection …

Multivariate climate change presents an urgent need to understand how species adapt to
complex environments. Population genetic theory predicts that loci under selection will form …

Supergenes are sets of genes that are inherited as a single marker and encode complex
phenotypes through their joint action. They are identified in an increasing number of …

Barriers to gene flow between divergent populations result in contact (hybrid) zones.
Locations where multiple contact zones overlap can be used in comparative studies asking …

Adaptation to local conditions is a fundamental process in evolution; however, mechanisms
maintaining local adaptation despite high gene flow are still poorly understood. Marine …

Identification of genome-wide patterns of divergence provides insight on how genomes are
influenced by selection and can reveal the potential for local adaptation in spatially …

Maintenance of genetic diversity in marine fishes targeted by commercial fishing is a grand
challenge for the future. Most of these species are abundant and therefore important for …

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