Mutation is the ultimate source of all genetic variation, and over the last 10 years the ready
availability of whole-genome sequencing has permitted direct estimation of mutation rate for …

The rates of mutation, recombination, and transposition are core parameters in models of
evolution. They impact genetic diversity, responses to ongoing selection, and levels of …

The ways in which genetic variation is distributed within and among populations is a key
determinant of the evolutionary features of a species. However, most comprehensive studies …

The dynamics of extinction and (re) colonization in habitat patches are characterizing
features of dynamic metapopulations, causing them to evolve differently than large, stable …

A concomitant effect of a hydraulic fracturing experimenting is frequently fluid permeation
into the rock matrix, with the injected fluid permeating through the porous rock matrix (leak …

Daphnia are well-established ecological and evolutionary models, and the interaction
between D. magna and its microparasites is widely considered a paragon of the host …

De novo mutations are central for evolution, since they provide the raw material for natural
selection by regenerating genetic variation. However, studying de novo mutations is …

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a mainstay treatment for metastatic prostate cancer,
improving progression-free survival. ADT suppresses the production of testosterone and …

Transposable elements (TEs) represent a major portion of most eukaryotic genomes, yet
little is known about their mutation rates or how their activity is shaped by other evolutionary …

The water flea Daphnia OF Müller 1776 (Crustacea: Cladocera) is an important model of
recent evolutionary biology. Here, we report a complete genome of Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) …
