Annelore Kröger patiently prepared the voluminous graphic work. The partly coloured
drawings were produced by Monika Hänel. Arnhild Woltmann constantly provided ready …

Natural genetic variation is a rich resource for identifying novel elements of cellular
pathways such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress occurs when misfolded …

The role of hyzbridization in the evolution of animal species is poorly understood.
Transgressive segregation is a mechanism through which hybridization can generate …

The search to understand how genomes innovate in response to selection dominates the
field of evolutionary biology. Powerful molecular evolution approaches have been …

Recent results of evolutionary genomics and other research programmes indicate an
important role for environment‐dependent selection in speciation, but the conceptual …

The role of gene expression in evolutionary adaptation has been a subject of debate for over
40 years. cis‐regulation of transcription has been proposed to be the primary source of …

Local adaptation is common, but the traits and genes involved are often unknown.
Physiological responses to cold probably contribute to local adaptation in wide-ranging …

Selection experiments in the wild have greatly aided our understanding of how selection
shapes phenotypic diversity in natural populations. However, these experiments have been …

The transition from outcrossing to predominant self-fertilization is one of the most common
evolutionary transitions in flowering plants. This shift is often accompanied by a suite of …

Ten populations of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana were collected along a north–south
gradient in Norway and screened for microsatellite polymorphisms in 25 loci and variability …
