Most adaption processes have a polygenic genetic basis, but even with the recent explosive
growth of genomic data we are still lacking a unified framework describing the dynamics of …

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 …

Motivation fastsimcoal2 extends fastsimcoal, a continuous time coalescent-based genetic
simulation program, by enabling the estimation of demographic parameters under very …

Similar forms often evolve repeatedly in nature, raising long-standing questions about the
underlying mechanisms. Here, we use repeated evolution in stickleback to identify a large …

Genome re-arrangements such as chromosomal inversions are often involved in adaptation.
As such, they experience natural selection, which can erode genetic variation. Thus …

Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are well aware that natural and sexual selection do
not operate on traits in isolation, but instead act on combinations of traits. This long …

Population genomics is advancing our understanding of evolution, ecology, conservation,
agriculture, forestry, and human health by allowing new and long-standing questions to be …

Evolution can repeat itself, resulting in parallel adaptations in independent lineages
occupying similar environments. Moreover, parallel evolution sometimes, but not always …

Evolutionary processes, including selection, can be indirectly inferred based on patterns of
genomic variation among contemporary populations or species. However, this often requires …

Natural selection leaves distinct signatures in the genome that can reveal the targets and
history of adaptive evolution. By analysing high-coverage genome sequence data from 4 …
