Phenotypic plasticity, the property by which living organisms express different phenotypes
depending on environmental conditions, can impact their response to environmental …

High quality reference genomes are crucial to understanding genome function, structure and
evolution. The availability of reference genomes has allowed us to start inferring the role of …

Background How species can adapt to abrupt environmental changes, particularly in the
absence of standing genetic variation, is poorly understood and a pressing question in the …

Background The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is the most promising insect candidate
for nutrient-recycling through bioconversion of organic waste into biomass, thereby …

Across a species range, multiple sources of environmental heterogeneity, at both small and
large scales, create complex landscapes of selection, which may challenge adaptation …

To advance our understanding of adaptation to temporally varying selection pressures, we
identified signatures of seasonal adaptation occurring in parallel among Drosophila …

Allele frequencies can shift rapidly within natural populations. Under certain conditions,
repeated rapid allele frequency shifts can lead to the long‐term maintenance of …

Since the pioneering work of Dobzhansky in the 1930s and 1940s, many chromosomal
inversions have been identified, but how they contribute to adaptation remains poorly …

Drosophila melanogaster is a leading model in population genetics and genomics, and a
growing number of whole-genome data sets from natural populations of this species have …

Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterial symbiont that is estimated to infect
approximately half of arthropod species. In the laboratory it can increase the resistance of …
