By combining well-established population genetic theory with high-throughput sequencing
data from natural populations, major strides have recently been made in understanding how …

Climate change can shape evolution directly by altering abiotic conditions or indirectly by
modifying habitats, yet few studies have investigated the effects of climate‐driven habitat …

Identifying the mechanisms involved in the formation and maintenance of species is a
central question in evolutionary biology, and distinguishing the selective drivers of …

Determining whether and how evolution is predictable is an important goal, particularly as
anthropogenic disturbances lead to novel species interactions that could modify selective …

When are evolutionary outcomes predictable? Cases of convergent evolution can shed light
on when, why, and how different species exhibit shared evolutionary trajectories. In …

Colours relay information to conspecifics and predators unique to an environment and are
shaped by natural selection favouring colours that enable higher fitness. For decades …

The article introduces a collection of studies on molecular mechanisms of adaptation and
speciation with topics such as sexual selection in threespine stickleback, genomic …

Abstract The White Sands lizards of New Mexico are a rare and classic example of
convergent evolution where three species have evolved blanched coloration on the white …

My thesis is composed of two parts involving different, but complimentary, lines of research.
The first two chapters (Section One) use artificial selection on Mendelian phenotypes to link …
