Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges …

Hybridization between species is commonplace in plants, but is often seen as unnatural and
unusual in animals. Here, I survey studies of natural interspecific hybridization in plants and …

Introduction The notion that species boundaries can be porous to introgression is
increasingly accepted. Yet the broader role of introgression in evolution remains contentious …

Genomic scans of multiple populations often reveal marker loci with greatly increased
differentiation between populations. Often this differentiation coincides in space with …

The suggestion that chromosomal rearrangements play a role in speciation resulted from the
observation that heterokaryotypes are often infertile. However, the first chromosomal …

There is a growing appreciation that chromosome inversions affect rates of adaptation,
speciation, and the evolution of sex chromosomes. Comparative genomic studies have …

Infectious diseases are changing due to the environment and altered interactions among
hosts, reservoirs, vectors, and pathogens. This is particularly true for zoonotic diseases that …

Despite taxonomy's 250‐year history, the past 20 years have borne witness to remarkable
advances in technology and techniques, as well as debate. DNA barcoding has generated a …

Genetic control aims to reduce the ability of insect pest populations to cause harm via the
release of modified insects. One strategy is to bias the reproductive sex ratio towards males …

Biological invasions constitute a major environmental change driver, affecting conservation,
agriculture and human health. Invasive alien species (IAS) impacts include, alterations of …
