Genomic inference of a severe human bottleneck during the Early to Middle Pleistocene transition
Population size history is essential for studying human evolution. However, ancient
population size history during the Pleistocene is notoriously difficult to unravel. In this study …

Chromosome Fissions and Fusions Act as Barriers to Gene Flow between Brenthis Fritillary Butterflies
Chromosome rearrangements are thought to promote reproductive isolation between
incipient species. However, it is unclear how often, and under what conditions, fission and …

The era of the ARG: An introduction to ancestral recombination graphs and their significance in empirical evolutionary genomics
In the presence of recombination, the evolutionary relationships between a set of sampled
genomes cannot be described by a single genealogical tree. Instead, the genomes are …
