Most adaption processes have a polygenic genetic basis, but even with the recent explosive
growth of genomic data we are still lacking a unified framework describing the dynamics of …

Parallel evolution across replicate populations has provided evolutionary biologists with
iconic examples of adaptation. When multiple populations colonize seemingly similar …

Urban ecosystems are rapidly expanding throughout the world, but how urban growth affects
the evolutionary ecology of species living in urban areas remains largely unknown. Urban …

When diverse lineages repeatedly adapt to similar environmental challenges, the extent to
which the same genes are involved (gene reuse) varies across systems. We propose that …

The repeated adaptation of oceanic threespine sticklebacks to fresh water has made it a
premier organism to study parallel evolution. These small fish have multiple distinct …

Understanding the distribution of crossovers along chromosomes is crucial to evolutionary
genomics because the crossover rate determines how strongly a genome region is …

Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined
whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white …

Parasites impose fitness costs on their hosts. Biologists often assume that natural selection
favors infection-resistant hosts. Yet, when the immune response itself is costly, theory …

Understanding the extent to which ecological divergence is repeatable is essential for
predicting responses of biodiversity to environmental change. Here we test the predictability …

Urbanization is gaining force globally, which challenges biodiversity, and it has recently also
emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal phenology and life cycle regulation …
