Empirical population genetic studies have been dominated by a neutralist view, according to
which gene flow and drift are the main forces driving population genetic structure in nature …

Local adaptation in the sea was regarded historically as a rare phenomenon that was limited
to a handful of species with exceptionally low dispersal potential. However, a growing body …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

We review commonly used population definitions under both the ecological paradigm
(which emphasizes demographic cohesion) and the evolutionary paradigm (which …

Measures of genetic structure among individuals or populations collected at different spatial
locations across a landscape are commonly used as surrogate measures of functional (ie …

Ten years ago, we reported that SM, a patient with rare bilateral amygdala damage, showed
an intriguing impairment in her ability to recognize fear from facial expressions. Since then …
