Genetic information contains a record of the history of our species, and technological
advances have transformed our ability to access this record. Many studies have used …

Reconstructing historical variation of population size from sequence and single-nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) data is valuable for understanding the evolutionary history of species …

We investigate the effect of spatial range expansions on the evolution of fitness when
beneficial and deleterious mutations cosegregate. We perform individual‐based simulations …

Range expansions cause a series of founder events. We show that, in a one-dimensional
habitat, these founder events are the spatial analog of genetic drift in a randomly mating …

Over the past two decades, microsatellite genotypes have provided the data for landmark
studies of human population-genetic variation. However, the various microsatellite data sets …

Worldwide patterns of genetic variation are driven by human demographic history. Here, we
test whether this demographic history has left similar signatures on phonemes—sound units …

Simultaneously modeling hybridization and the multispecies coalescent is becoming
increasingly common, and inference of species networks in this context is now implemented …

Quaternary climate fluctuations drove many species to shift their geographic ranges, in turn
sha** their genetic structures. Recently, it has been argued that adaptation may have …

The gradual loss of diversity and the establishment of clines in allele frequencies associated
with range expansions are patterns observed in many species, including humans. These …

Range expansions have been common in the history of most species. Serial founder effects
and subsequent population growth at expansion fronts typically lead to a loss of genomic …
