Demographic and genetic approaches to study dispersal in wild animal populations: A methodological review
Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. At the individual level, the three
stages of the dispersal process (ie, emigration, transience and immigration) are affected by …

Invoking adaptation to decipher the genetic legacy of past climate change
Persistence of natural populations during periods of climate change is likely to depend on
migration (range shifts) or adaptation. These responses were traditionally considered …

The genomics of local adaptation in trees: are we out of the woods yet?
There is substantial interest in uncovering the genetic basis of the traits underlying adaptive
responses in tree species, as this information will ultimately aid conservation and industrial …

Quantifying how constraints limit the diversity of viable routes to adaptation
Convergent adaptation occurs at the genome scale when independently evolving lineages
use the same genes to respond to similar selection pressures. These patterns of genetic …

The evolutionary history of Nebraska deer mice: local adaptation in the face of strong gene flow
The interplay of gene flow, genetic drift, and local selective pressure is a dynamic process
that has been well studied from a theoretical perspective over the last century. Wright and …

Local adaptation and ecological differentiation under selection, migration, and drift in Arabidopsis lyrata
How the balance between selection, migration, and drift influences the evolution of local
adaptation has been under intense theoretical scrutiny. Yet, empirical studies that relate …

Repeated selection of alternatively adapted haplotypes creates sweeping genomic remodeling in stickleback
After the catastrophic 1964 Alaskan earthquake, marine stickleback colonized newly created

The role of hybridization during ecological divergence of southwestern white pine (Pinus strobiformis) and limber pine (P. flexilis)
Interactions between extrinsic factors, such as disruptive selection and intrinsic factors, such
as genetic incompatibilities among loci, often contribute to the maintenance of species …

Local adaptation and the evolution of inversions on sex chromosomes and autosomes
Spatially varying selection with gene flow can favour the evolution of inversions that bind
locally adapted alleles together, facilitate local adaptation and ultimately drive genomic …
