Between but Not Within-Species Variation in the Distribution of Fitness Effects
New mutations provide the raw material for evolution and adaptation. The distribution of
fitness effects (DFE) describes the spectrum of effects of new mutations that can occur along …

Two sides of the same coin? Transient hybridization in refugia and rapid postglacial ecological divergence ensure the evolutionary persistence of sister Nothofagus
Glacial periods have been considered as inhospitable environments that consist of treeless
vegetation at higher latitudes. The fossil record suggests many species survived the Last …
