We describe an emerging initiative-the 'Functional Annotation of All Salmonid
Genomes'(FAASG), which will leverage the extensive trait diversity that has evolved since a …

Recent calls for a revision of standard evolutionary theory (SET) are based partly on
arguments about the reciprocal causation. Reciprocal causation means that cause–effect …

Sexually antagonistic (SA) genetic variation—in which alleles favored in one sex are
disfavored in the other—is predicted to be common and has been documented in several …

Recent ecotypic differentiation provides unique opportunities to investigate the genomic
basis and architecture of local adaptation, while offering insights into how species form and …

A simplistic view of the adaptive process pictures a hillside along which a population can
climb: when ecological 'demands' change, evolution 'supplies' the variation needed for the …

In light of recent recoveries of marine mammal populations worldwide and heightened
concern about their impacts on marine food webs and global fisheries, it has become …

Antagonistic selection between different fitness components (eg, survival versus fertility) or
different types of individuals in a population (eg, females versus males) can potentially …

Chromosomal inversions have been implicated in facilitating adaptation in the face of high
levels of gene flow, but whether chromosomal fusions also have similar potential remains …

Recent decline in abundance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and concomitant changes in
life history may result from a decline in the growth conditions during marine migration …

Global losses of biodiversity are occurring at an unprecedented rate, but causes are often
unidentified. Genomic data provide an opportunity to isolate drivers of change and even …
