Genome sequence data are now being routinely obtained from many nonmodel organisms.
These data contain a wealth of information about the demographic history of the populations …

Culture (behaviour based on socially transmitted information) is present in diverse animal
species, yet how it interacts with genetic evolution remains largely unexplored. Here, we …

Explaining how animals respond to an increasingly urbanised world is a major challenge for
evolutionary biologists. Urban environments often present animals with novel problems that …

Behavioral changes, such as those involved in mating, foraging, and migration, can
