Explaining the evolution of species geographical ranges is fundamental to understanding how biodiversity is distributed and maintained. The solution to this classic problem in …
Cytonuclear discordance is commonly observed in phylogenetic studies, yet few studies have tested whether these patterns reflect incomplete lineage sorting or organellar …
Rates of meiotic recombination are widely variable both within and among species. However, the functional significance of this variation remains largely unknown. Is the …
Inheritance of the mitochondrial genome does not follow the rules of conventional Mendelian genetics. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is present in many copies per cell and …
Detailed evaluations of genomic variation between sister species often reveal distinct chromosomal regions of high relative differentiation (ie,“islands of differentiation” in FST), but …
Global environmental changes strongly impact wild and domesticated species biology and their associated ecosystem services. For crops, global warming has led to significant …
The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer, and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …
Drosophila suzukii recently invaded North America and Europe. Populations in Hawaii, California, New York and Nova Scotia are polymorphic for Wolbachia, typically with< 20 …
