Evolutionary convergence is one of the most striking examples of adaptation driven by
natural selection. However, genomic evidence for convergent adaptation to extreme …

High-altitude climates are characterized by intense solar and UV (ultraviolet) stress, long
periods of sunlight, low temperatures, and a significant temperature differential between day …

It has long been discussed to what extent related species develop similar genetic
mechanisms to adapt to similar environments. Most studies documenting such convergence …

Environmental stress at high altitudes drives the development of distinct adaptive
mechanisms in plants. However, studies exploring the genetic adaptive mechanisms of high …

Understanding how species adapt to extreme environments is an extension of the main
goals of evolutionary biology. While alpine plants are an ideal system for investigating the …

Convergent evolution is especially common in plants that have independently adapted to
the same extreme environments (ie, extremophile plants). The recent burst of omics data has …

The extreme conditions (eg, cold, low oxygen, and strong ultraviolet radiation) of the high
mountains provide an ideal natural laboratory for studies on speciation and the adaptive …

Eutrema is a genus in the Brassicaceae, which includes species of scientific and economic
importance. Many Eutrema species are montane and/or alpine species that arose very …

Short-scale local adaptation is a complex process involving selection, migration, and drift.
The expected effects on the genome are well grounded in theory but examining these on an …

Identifying adaptive genetic variation is a challenging task, in particular in non‐model
species for which genomic information is still limited or absent. Here, we studied distribution …
