Genetic data are being generated at unprecedented rates. Policies of many journals,
institutions and funding bodies aim to ensure that these data are publicly archived so that …

Genetic and genomic data are collected for a vast array of scientific and applied purposes.
Despite mandates for public archiving, data are typically used only by the generating …

Policies that mandate public data archiving (PDA) successfully increase accessibility to data
underlying scientific publications. However, is the data quality sufficient to allow reuse and …

In the spring of 2010, Evolution joined with other key journals in evolution and ecology to
adopt a formal policy requiring that data used in articles published in the journal be …

It was recently proposed that long-term population studies be exempted from the expectation

Genetic diversity within species represents a fundamental yet underappreciated level of
biodiversity. Because genetic diversity can indicate species resilience to changing climate …

Many ecology and evolution journals have recently adopted policies requiring that data from
their papers be publicly archived. I present suggestions on how data generators, data re …

Ten years ago, the journal Molecular Ecology published a “road map” paper that reviewed
past achievements in the discipline of molecular ecology, identified research challenges and …

The technological ability to characterize genetic variation at a genome‐wide scale provides
