A roadmap for understanding the evolutionary significance of structural genomic variation
Structural genomic variants (SVs) are ubiquitous and play a major role in adaptation and
speciation. Yet, comparative and population genomics have focused predominantly on gene …

Correlational selection in the age of genomics
Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are well aware that natural and sexual selection do
not operate on traits in isolation, but instead act on combinations of traits. This long …

Locally adaptive inversions modulate genetic variation at different geographic scales in a seaweed fly
Across a species range, multiple sources of environmental heterogeneity, at both small and
large scales, create complex landscapes of selection, which may challenge adaptation …
