Biological invasions impose ecological and economic problems on a global scale, but also
provide extraordinary opportunities for studying contemporary evolution. It is critical to …

Recent research in plant epigenetics has increased our understanding of how epigenetic
variability can contribute to adaptive phenotypic plasticity in natural populations. Studies …

Several reduced‐representation bisulfite sequencing methods have been developed in
recent years to determine cytosine methylation de novo in nonmodel species. Here, we …

A decade ago, a landmark edited collection of essays made official the ongoing quest for an
Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES), beyond the classic Modern Synthesis that took …

The capacity to respond to environmental challenges ultimately relies on phenotypic
variation which manifests from complex interactions of genetic and nongenetic mechanisms …

Anthropogenic changes to the environment challenge animal populations to adapt to new
conditions and unique threats. While the study of adaptation has focused on genetic …

Reference-free reduced representation bisulfite sequencing uses enzymatic digestion for
reducing genome complexity and allows detection of markers to study DNA methylation of a …

Ecological genomics approaches have informed us about the structure of genetic diversity in
natural populations that might underlie patterns in trait variation. However, we still know …

Although DNA methylation has largely been shown to be stable in plants, mounting
evidence indicates methylation patterns may reflect environmental sensitivity. Perennial …

Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing is an emerging methodology for evolutionary
and ecological genomics and epigenomics research because it provides a cost-effective …
