Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

Empirical data suggest that inversions in many species contain genes important for
intraspecific divergence and speciation, yet mechanisms of evolution remain unclear. While …

Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) allows for the genome-wide
discovery and genoty** of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in hundreds of individuals at …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Restriction site‐Associated DNA sequencing (RAD‐seq) has become a widely adopted
method for genoty** populations of model and non‐model organisms. Generating a …

Phenotypic plasticity can serve as a step** stone towards adaptation. Recently, studies
have shown that gene expression contributes to emergent stress responses such as thermal …

Extreme events can be a major driver of evolutionary change over geological and
contemporary timescales. Outstanding examples are evolutionary diversification following …

The repeated adaptation of oceanic threespine sticklebacks to fresh water has made it a
premier organism to study parallel evolution. These small fish have multiple distinct …

Ecological speciation is the process by which reproductively isolated populations emerge as
a consequence of divergent natural or ecologically-mediated sexual selection. Most …

Understanding the distribution of crossovers along chromosomes is crucial to evolutionary
genomics because the crossover rate determines how strongly a genome region is …
