Structural genomic variants (SVs) are ubiquitous and play a major role in adaptation and
speciation. Yet, comparative and population genomics have focused predominantly on gene …

Although single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) were initially thought to make‐up the
majority of selectable variation (Morin, Luikart, & Wayne, 2004; Sachidanandam et al …

Identifying and monitoring locally adaptive genetic variation can have direct utility for
conserving species at risk, especially when management may include actions such as …

The accessibility of new genomic resources, high‐throughput molecular technologies and
analytical approaches such as genome scans have made finding genes contributing to …

Balancing selection describes any form of natural selection, which results in the persistence
of multiple variants of a trait at intermediate frequencies within populations. By offering up a …

Parallel phenotypic diversification in closely related species is a rigorous framework for
testing the role of natural selection in evolution. Do parallel phenotypes always diversify by …

Because they are considered rare, balanced polymorphisms are often discounted as crucial
constituents of genome‐wide variation in sequence diversity. Despite its perceived rarity …

There is a growing appreciation that chromosome inversions affect rates of adaptation,
speciation, and the evolution of sex chromosomes. Comparative genomic studies have …

Strategies for the identification of functional genetic variation underlying phenotypic traits of
ecological and evolutionary importance have received considerable attention in the …

Phenotypic plasticity (the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in
response to variation in the environment) is commonplace. Yet its evolutionary significance …
