Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

Effective population size, Ne, is a key evolutionary parameter that determines the levels of
genetic variation and efficacy of selection. Estimation and interpretation of Ne are essential …

The genetic architecture of adaptive traits is of key importance to predict evolutionary
responses. Most adaptive traits are polygenic—ie, result from selection on a large number of …

Now updated for its second edition, Population Genetics is the classic, accessible
introduction to the concepts of population genetics. Combining traditional conceptual …

Similar forms often evolve repeatedly in nature, raising long-standing questions about the
underlying mechanisms. Here, we use repeated evolution in stickleback to identify a large …

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

The role of epistasis in driving adaptation has remained an unresolved problem dating back
to the Evolutionary Synthesis. In particular, whether epistatic interactions among genes …

Estimation of effective population size (Ne) from genetic marker data is a major focus for
biodiversity conservation because it is essential to know at what rates inbreeding is …

Metazoan adaptation to global change relies on selection of standing genetic variation.
Determining the extent to which this variation exists in natural populations, particularly for …

Allele frequency time series data constitute a powerful resource for unraveling mechanisms
of adaptation, because the temporal dimension captures important information about …
