Understanding the distribution of crossovers along chromosomes is crucial to evolutionary
genomics because the crossover rate determines how strongly a genome region is …

As is true of virtually every realm of the biological sciences, our understanding of speciation
is increasingly informed by the genomic revolution of the past decade. Investigators can ask …

Hybridisation and introgression can dramatically alter the relationships among groups of
species, leading to phylogenetic discordance across the genome and between populations …

Sex differences in overall recombination rates are well known, but little theoretical or
empirical attention has been given to how and why sexes differ in their recombination …

With more than 70,000 living species, vertebrates have a huge impact on the field of biology
and research, including karyotype evolution. One prominent aspect of many vertebrate …

Hybridization can drive speciation. We examine the hypothesis that Castanea henryi var.
omeiensis is an evolutionary lineage that originated from hybridization between two near …

Classical models suggest that recombination rates on sex chromosomes evolve in a
stepwise manner to localize sexually antagonistic variants in the sex in which they are …

Determining the extent of genetic variation that reflects local adaptation in crop-wild relatives
is of interest for the purpose of identifying useful genetic diversity for plant breeding. We …

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in identifying the role that regions of low
recombination or inversion play in adaptation of species to local environments. Many …

Genomic evidence supports an important role for selection in shaping patterns of
introgression along the genome, but frameworks for understanding the evolutionary …
