The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important
breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on …

The germline mutation rate determines the pace of genome evolution and is an evolving
parameter itself. However, little is known about what determines its evolution, as most …

Patterson's D, also known as the ABBA‐BABA statistic, and related statistics such as the f4‐
ratio, are commonly used to assess evidence of gene flow between populations or closely …

Adaptive radiation is the likely source of much of the ecological and morphological diversity
of life,,–. How adaptive radiations proceed and what determines their extent remains unclear …

Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …

Genomes are typically mosaics of regions with different evolutionary histories. When
speciation events are closely spaced in time, recombination makes the regions sharing the …

Peatlands are crucial sinks for atmospheric carbon but are critically threatened due to
warming climates. Sphagnum (peat moss) species are keystone members of peatland …

Owing to their taxonomic, phenotypic, ecological and behavioural diversity and propensity
for explosive diversification, the assemblages of cichlid fish in the East African Great Lakes …

Radical environmental change that provokes population decline can impose constraints on
the sources of genetic variation that may enable evolutionary rescue. Adaptive toxicant …
