The artificial movement of individuals between populations (translocation) can be an
effective way to increase genetic diversity within populations, but few studies have …

Newly established populations are susceptible to founder events that reduce genetic
variation. This may be counterbalanced by gene flow after populations become established …

Littorina saxatilis is becoming a model system for understanding the genomic basis of
ecological speciation. The parallel formation of crab‐adapted ecotypes that exhibit partial …

The littorine snail Bembicium vittatum has direct development and associated high levels of
genetic subdivision. In the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia, this species …

It is commonly observed that a restricted gene flow among populations of a species
generates genetic differentiation in, for example, allozyme markers. However, recent studies …

Metapopulation structure and genetic differentiation among subpopulations will be tightly
related to patterns and processes of local adaptation and microevolution. Understanding the …

Hybrid zones of ecologically divergent populations are ideal systems to study the interaction
between natural selection and gene flow during the initial stages of speciation. Here, we …

The snail Bembicium vittatum occupies a wide range of intertidal habitats in the Houtman
Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia. Allozyme variation reflects patterns of connectivity …

Parallel patterns of adaptive divergence and speciation are cited as powerful evidence for
the role of selection driving these processes. However, it is often not clear whether parallel …

Chromosomal inversions have been shown to play a major role in a local adaptation by
suppressing recombination between alternative arrangements and maintaining beneficial …
