Convergent local adaptation to climate in distantly related conifers
When confronted with an adaptive challenge, such as extreme temperature, closely related
species frequently evolve similar phenotypes using the same genes. Although such …

Fitness maps to a large-effect locus in introduced stickleback populations
Mutations of small effect underlie most adaptation to new environments, but beneficial
variants with large fitness effects are expected to contribute under certain conditions. Genes …

Resampling-based methods for biologists
Ecological data often violate common assumptions of traditional parametric statistics (eg,
that residuals are Normally distributed, have constant variance, and cases are independent) …
