Interpreting the genomic landscape of speciation: a road map for finding barriers to gene flow
Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

Ecological genomics of local adaptation
It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, and …

Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms shape the genomic landscape of deer mice
Chromosomal inversions are an important form of structural variation that can affect
recombination, chromosome structure and fitness. However, because inversions can be …

Massive haplotypes underlie ecotypic differentiation in sunflowers
Species often include multiple ecotypes that are adapted to different environments.
However, it is unclear how ecotypes arise and how their distinctive combinations of adaptive …

Genetics of adaptation
The rediscovery of Mendel's work showing that the heredity of phenotypes is controlled by
discrete genes was followed by the reconciliation of Mendelian genetics with evolution by …

Comparing methods for detecting multilocus adaptation with multivariate genotype–environment associations
Identifying adaptive loci can provide insight into the mechanisms underlying local
adaptation. Genotype–environment association (GEA) methods, which identify these loci …

A chromosomal inversion contributes to divergence in multiple traits between deer mouse ecotypes
How locally adapted ecotypes are established and maintained within a species is a long-
standing question in evolutionary biology. Using forest and prairie ecotypes of deer mice …

Genome-wide analyses of introgression between two sympatric Asian oak species
Introgression can be an important source of new alleles for adaption under rapidly changing
environments, perhaps even more important than standing variation. Though introgression …

Sex-dependent dominance at a single locus maintains variation in age at maturity in salmon
Males and females share many traits that have a common genetic basis; however, selection
on these traits often differs between the sexes, leading to sexual conflict,. Under such sexual …
