Although theory has demonstrated rather low levels of gene flow are sufficient to counteract
opposing mutation, drift, and selection, widespread recognition of the evolutionary …

Invasive and endangered species reflect opposite ends of a spectrum of ecological success,
yet they experience many similar eco-evolutionary challenges including demographic …

The transition from outcrossing to selfing is predicted to reduce the genome-wide efficacy of
selection because of the lower effective population size (N e) that accompanies this change …

Determining the patterns and mechanisms of natural selection in the wild is of fundamental
importance to understanding the differentiation of populations and the evolution of new …

The evolutionary transition from outcrossing to selfing can have important genomic
consequences. Decreased effective population size and the reduced efficacy of selection …

Detecting signatures of selection in tree populations threatened by climate change is
currently a major research priority. Here, we investigated the signature of local adaptation …

Identifying the presence and magnitude of population genetic structure remains a major
consideration in evolutionary biology as doing so allows one to understand the …

Plant evolutionary ecology is a rapidly growing discipline which emphasizes that
populations adapt and evolve not in isolation, but in relation to other species and abiotic …

Survivor populations of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) from plots in a field experiment in
southern Norway were genetically characterized using genotyping by sequencing, and …

Background and Aims Although it is well known that fire acts as a selective pressure shaping
plant phenotypes, there are no quantitative estimates of the heritability of any trait related to …
