Speciation is a fundamental evolutionary process, the knowledge of which is crucial for
understanding the origins of biodiversity. Genomic approaches are an increasingly …

The evolution of phenotypic similarities between species, known as convergence, illustrates
that populations can respond predictably to ecological challenges. Convergence often …

Low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) has emerged as a powerful and cost‐
effective approach for population genomic studies in both model and nonmodel species …

The rediscovery of Mendel's work showing that the heredity of phenotypes is controlled by
discrete genes was followed by the reconciliation of Mendelian genetics with evolution by …

Hybridisation and introgression can dramatically alter the relationships among groups of
species, leading to phylogenetic discordance across the genome and between populations …

Adaptive genetic variation has been thought to originate primarily from either new mutation
or standing variation. Another potential source of adaptive variation is adaptive variants from …

The evolutionary importance of hybridization and introgression has long been debated.
Hybrids are usually rare and unfit, but even infrequent hybridization can aid adaptation by …

Cis-regulatory sequences, such as enhancers and promoters, control development and
physiology by regulating gene expression. Mutations that affect the function of these …

What is the nature of the genetic changes underlying phenotypic evolution? We have
catalogued 1008 alleles described in the literature that cause phenotypic differences among …

The hypothesis that differences in gene regulation have an important role in speciation and
adaptation is more than 40 years old. With the advent of new sequencing technologies, we …
