Community-wide genome sequencing reveals 30 years of Darwin's finch evolution
A fundamental goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic architecture of
adaptive traits. Using whole-genome data of 3955 of Darwin's finches on the Galápagos …

Rapid adaptive radiation of Darwin's finches depends on ancestral genetic modules
Recent adaptive radiations are models for investigating mechanisms contributing to the
evolution of biodiversity. An unresolved question is the relative importance of new mutations …

An Island‐hopping bird reveals how founder events shape genome‐wide divergence
When populations colonize new areas, both strong selection and strong drift can be
experienced due to novel environments and small founding populations, respectively …
