Next-generation cophylogeny: unravelling eco-evolutionary processes
A fundamental question in evolutionary biology is how microevolutionary processes
translate into species diversification. Cophylogeny provides an appropriate framework to …

Assessing co‐diversification in host‐associated microbiomes
When lineages of hosts and microbial symbionts engage in intimate interactions over
evolutionary timescales, they can diversify in parallel (ie, co‐diversify), producing …

Parallel evolution of ancient, pleiotropic enhancers underlies butterfly wing pattern mimicry
Color pattern mimicry in Heliconius butterflies is a classic case study of complex trait
adaptation via selection on a few large effect genes. Association studies have linked color …

Selective sweeps on novel and introgressed variation shape mimicry loci in a butterfly adaptive radiation
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 …

JBS Haldane's contribution to the Bayes factor hypothesis test
This article brings attention to some historical developments that gave rise to the Bayes
factor for testing a point null hypothesis against a composite alternative. In line with current …

Deep learning on butterfly phenotypes tests evolution's oldest mathematical model
Traditional anatomical analyses captured only a fraction of real phenomic information. Here,
we apply deep learning to quantify total phenotypic similarity across 2468 butterfly …

Grand challenges in coevolution
Coevolution—reciprocal evolutionary change between interacting lineages (Thompson,
1994; see Glossary)—is thought to have played a profound role in the evolution of Life on …

Many functionally connected loci foster adaptive diversification along a neotropical hybrid zone
Characterizing the genetic complexity of adaptation and trait evolution is a major emphasis
of evolutionary biology and genetics. Incongruent findings from genetic studies have …

Whole‐genome resequencing reveals recent divergence of geographic populations of the dung beetle Phelotrupes auratus with color variation
Abstract Knowledge of population divergence history is key to understanding organism
diversification mechanisms. The geotrupid dung beetle Phelotrupes auratus, which inhabits …
