Studies in diverse biological systems have indicated that host–parasite co-evolution is
responsible for the extraordinary genetic diversity seen in some genomic regions, such as …

Dominance is a basic property of inheritance systems describing the link between a diploid
genotype at a single locus and the resulting phenotype. Models for the evolution of …

Chromosomal inversions are ubiquitous in genomes and often coordinate complex
phenotypes, such as the covariation of behavior and morphology in many birds, fishes …

Males and females often differ in their fitness optima for shared traits that have a shared
genetic basis, leading to sexual conflict. Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes …

Genome re-arrangements such as chromosomal inversions are often involved in adaptation.
As such, they experience natural selection, which can erode genetic variation. Thus …

Supergenes are groups of tightly linked loci whose variation is inherited as a single
Mendelian locus and are a common genetic architecture for complex traits under balancing …

Supergenes are clusters of linked genetic loci that jointly affect the expression of complex
phenotypes, such as social organization. Little is known about the origin and evolution of …

How natural diversity is maintained is an evolutionary puzzle. Genetic variation can be
eroded by drift and directional selection but some polymorphisms persist for long time …

The evolution of costly traits such as deer antlers and peacock trains, which drove the
formation of Darwinian sexual selection theory, has been suggested to both reflect and affect …

Supergenes are nonrecombining genomic regions ensuring the coinheritance of multiple,
coadapted genes. Despite the importance of supergenes in adaptation, little is known on …
