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

Transmissible cancers, in which cancer cells themselves act as an infectious agent, have
been identified in Tasmanian devils, dogs, and four bivalves. We investigated a …

Human‐mediated transport creates secondary contacts between genetically differentiated
lineages, bringing new opportunities for gene exchange. When similar introductions occur in …

Oaks are dominant forest tree species widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere,
where they constitute natural resources of economic, ecological, social and historical value …

The blue shark Prionace glauca is a top predator with one of the widest geographical
distributions of any shark species. It is classified as Critically Endangered in the …

Introduced species can impose profound impacts on the evolution of receiving communities
with which they interact. If native and introduced taxa remain reproductively semi‐isolated …

The Mytilus complex of marine mussel species forms a mosaic of hybrid zones, found across
temperate regions of the globe. This allows us to study 'replicated'instances of secondary …

Genome divergence is greatly influenced by gene flow during early stages of speciation. As
populations differentiate, geographic barriers can constrain gene flow and so affect the …

Understanding how organisms adapt to the environment is a major goal of modern biology.
Parallel evolution—the independent evolution of similar phenotypes in different populations …

Parallel phenotypic differentiation is generally attributed to parallel adaptive divergence as
an evolutionary response to similar environmental contrasts. Such parallelism may actually …
