As is true of virtually every realm of the biological sciences, our understanding of speciation
is increasingly informed by the genomic revolution of the past decade. Investigators can ask …

We used 20 de novo genome assemblies to probe the speciation history and architecture of
gene flow in rapidly radiating Heliconius butterflies. Our tests to distinguish incomplete …

The worldwide extinction of megafauna during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene is
evident from the fossil record, with dominant theories suggesting a climate, human or …

Hybridisation and introgression can dramatically alter the relationships among groups of
species, leading to phylogenetic discordance across the genome and between populations …

Color pattern mimicry in Heliconius butterflies is a classic case study of complex trait
adaptation via selection on a few large effect genes. Association studies have linked color …

Butterflies have become prominent models for studying the evolution and development of
phenotypic variation. In Heliconius, extraordinary within species divergence and between …

Repeated evolution can provide insight into the mechanisms that facilitate adaptation to
novel or changing environments. Here we study adaptation to altitude in two tropical …

Sex-limited polymorphism has evolved in many species including our own. Yet, we lack a
detailed understanding of the underlying genetic variation and evolutionary processes at …

Natural selection leaves distinct signatures in the genome that can reveal the targets and
history of adaptive evolution. By analysing high-coverage genome sequence data from 4 …

Identifying regions of the genome that act as barriers to gene flow between recently diverged
taxa has remained challenging given the many evolutionary forces that generate variation in …
