Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges …

By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

An essential prerequisite of a sustainable fisheries management is the matching of
biologically relevant processes and management action. In fisheries management and …

Abstract Changes in environmental conditions can rapidly shift allele frequencies in
populations of species with relatively short generation times. Frequency shifts might be …

Studies of adaptive evolution have experienced a recent revival in population genetics of
natural populations and there is currently much focus on identifying genomic signatures of …

High gene flow is considered the norm for most marine organisms and is expected to limit
their ability to adapt to local environments. Few studies have directly compared the patterns …

The spatial structuring of intraspecific genetic diversity is the result of random genetic drift,
natural selection, migration, mutation, and their interaction with historical processes. The …

Gene expression varies widely in natural populations, yet the proximate and ultimate causes
of this variation are poorly known. Understanding how variation in gene expression affects …

The assessment of the genetic structuring of biodiversity is crucial for management and
conservation. For species with large effective population sizes a low number of markers may …

Analyses of gene expression data sets for multiple individuals and species promise to shed
light on the mode of evolution of gene expression. However, complementary complexities …
