Migration in animals and associated adaptations to contrasting environments are
underpinned by complex genetic architecture. Here, we explore the genomic basis of …

The nine-spined stickleback (Pungitius pungitius) has been increasingly used as a model
system in studies of local adaptation and sex chromosome evolution but its current reference …

Repeated and independent adaptation to specific environmental conditions from standing
genetic variation is common. However, if genetic variation is limited, the evolution of similar …

Repeated phenotypic patterns among populations undergoing parallel evolution in similar
environments provide support for the deterministic role of natural selection. Epigenetic …

Introgressive hybridization is an important process in evolution but challenging to identify,
undermining the efforts to understand its role and significance. On the contrary, many …

Diadromy is known for having major effects on the distribution and richness of aquatic
species, and so does its loss. The loss of diadromy has led to the diversification of many …

Aim Understanding the phylogeography of a species complex can provide important insights
into its evolutionary history. However, phylogeographic inference often faces the dilemma of …

The range distributions of many bird species cover extensive geographic distances,
exposing each local population to unique ecological challenges. Understanding the …

Transcriptome analysis has become a central tool in evolutionary and functional genomics.
However, variation among biological samples and analysis techniques can greatly influence …

There is a general and solid theoretical framework to explain how the interplay between
natural selection and gene flow affects local adaptation. Yet, to what extent coexisting …
