Sympatric speciation illustrates how natural and sexual selection may create new species in
isolation without geographic barriers. However, recent genomic reanalyses of classic …

Until recently, our understanding of the genetics of speciation was limited to a narrow group
of model species with a specific set of characteristics that made genetic analysis feasible …

Speciation genomic studies aim to interpret patterns of genome-wide variation in light of the
processes that give rise to new species. However, interpreting the genomic “landscape” of …

Detailed evaluations of genomic variation between sister species often reveal distinct
chromosomal regions of high relative differentiation (ie,“islands of differentiation” in FST), but …

The evolution of independent lineages along replicated environmental transitions frequently
results in convergent adaptation, yet the degree to which convergence is present across …

Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there is now ample evidence of phenotypic
changes in wild organisms in response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic changes …

Fish hatcheries are widely used to enhance fisheries and supplement declining wild
populations. However, substantial evidence suggests that hatchery fish are subject to …

Accurately determining avian species limits has been a challenge and a work in progress for
most of a century. It is a fascinating but difficult problem. Under the biological species …

The study of local adaptation in the presence of ongoing gene flow is the study of natural
selection in action, revealing the functional genetic diversity most relevant to contemporary …

The influence of species life history traits and historical demography on contemporary
connectivity is still poorly understood. However, these factors partly determine the …
