Direct observation of evolution in response to natural environmental change can resolve
fundamental questions about adaptation, including its pace, temporal dynamics, and …

Population genomic data has revealed patterns of genetic variation associated with
adaptation in many taxa. Yet understanding the adaptive process that drives such patterns is …

Rapid phenotypic adaptation is often observed in natural populations and selection
experiments. However, detecting the genome-wide impact of this selection is difficult since …

Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important
for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatiotemporal patterns of …

Chromosomal inversions, structural mutations that reverse a segment of a chromosome,
cause suppression of recombination in the heterozygous state. Several studies have shown …

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 …

Population genetics seeks to illuminate the forces shaping genetic variation, often based on
a single snapshot of genomic variation. However, utilizing multiple sampling times to study …

Genetic variation is the raw material upon which selection acts. The majority of
environmental conditions change over time and therefore may result in variable selective …

Drosophila melanogaster, a small dipteran of African origin, represents one of the best-
studied model organisms. Early work in this system has uniquely shed light on the basic …

This study characterizes evolution at≈ 1.86 million Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
(SNPs) within a natural population of yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus). Most SNPs …
