Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

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 …

Large-scale genome-structural evolution is common in various organisms. Recent
developments in speciation genomics revealed the importance of inversions, whereas the …

Despite decades of cytogenetic and genomic research of dynamic sex chromosome
evolution in teleost fishes, multiple sex chromosomes have been largely neglected. In this …

A major goal of evolutionary biology is to identify the genotypes and phenotypes that
underlie adaptation to divergent environments. Stickleback fish, including the threespine …

Colonization of new ecological niches has triggered large adaptive radiations. Although
some lineages have made use of such opportunities, not all do so. The factors causing this …

The increasing availability of genomic resequencing data sets and high-quality reference
genomes across the tree of life present exciting opportunities for comparative population …

Intrinsic postzygotic isolation typically appears as reduced viability or fertility of interspecific
hybrids caused by genetic incompatibilities between diverged parental genomes …

As is true of virtually every realm of the biological sciences, our understanding of speciation
is increasingly informed by the genomic revolution of the past decade. Investigators can ask …

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 …
