Understanding the forces that influence natural variation within and among populations has
been a major objective of evolutionary biologists for decades. Motivated by the growth in …

Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

Motivation: DIYABC is a software package for a comprehensive analysis of population
history using approximate Bayesian computation on DNA polymorphism data. Version 2.0 …

We gathered genomic data from grapes (Vitis vinifera ssp. vinifera), a clonally propagated
perennial crop, to address three ongoing mysteries about plant domestication. The first is the …

Over two thousand plant species have been modified morphologically through cultivation
and human use. Here, we review three aspects of crop domestication that are currently …

In the past 10years a statistical technique, approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), has
been developed that can be used to infer parameters and choose between models in the …

The Sino-Japanese Floristic Region (SJFR) of East Asia harbors the most diverse of the
world's temperate flora, and was the most important glacial refuge for its Tertiary …

Most species are structured and influenced by processes that either increased or reduced
gene flow between populations. However, most population genetic inference methods …

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 …
