Gene flow is a fundamental evolutionary force in adaptation that is especially important to
understand as humans are rapidly changing both the natural environment and natural levels …

Atlantic cod is composed of multiple migratory and stationary populations widely distributed
in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Northeast Arctic cod (NEAC) population in the Barents Sea …

Chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions can play a crucial role in maintaining
polymorphism underlying complex traits and contribute to the process of speciation. In …

The interpretation of thermal-gradient data depends on the behavioral drives reported or
assumed, and on the underlying behavioral models explaining how such drives operate …

Biological conclusions drawn from phylogenetic comparative methods can be sensitive to
uncertainty in species sampling, phylogeny and data. To be confident about our …

Chromosome number is perhaps the most basic characteristic of a genome, yet
generalizations that can explain the evolution of this trait across large clades have remained …

Understanding the mechanisms that underlie chromosome evolution could provide insights
into the processes underpinning the origin, persistence and evolutionary tempo of lineages …

Identifying patterns in genetic structure and the genetic basis of ecological adaptation is a
core goal of evolutionary biology and can inform the management and conservation of …

The size variation between males and females of a species is a phenomenon known as
sexual size dimorphism (SSD). The observed patterns of variation in SSD among species …

Temperature is a primary driver to define the ecophysiological activity and performance of
ectotherms. Thus, thermal tolerance limits have a profound effect in determining geographic …
