Life-history traits or “fitness components”—such as age and size at maturity, fecundity and
fertility, age-specific rates of survival, and life span—are the major phenotypic determinants …

Reconstructing historical variation of population size from sequence and single-nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) data is valuable for understanding the evolutionary history of species …

The relative evolutionary roles of adaptive and non-adaptive processes remain a central
question in population genetics. Resolution of this debate has been difficult as an …

Abstract The Drosophila Genome Nexus is a population genomic resource that provides D.
melanogaster genomes from multiple sources. To facilitate comparisons across data sets …

Reference collections of multiple Drosophila lines with accumulating collections of “omics”
data have proven especially valuable for the study of population genetics and complex trait …

Populations arrayed along broad latitudinal gradients often show patterns of clinal variation
in phenotype and genotype. Such population differentiation can be generated and …

Drosophila melanogaster is a leading model in population genetics and genomics, and a
growing number of whole-genome data sets from natural populations of this species have …

Drosophila melanogaster spread from sub-Saharan Africa to the rest of the world colonizing
new environments. Here, we modeled the joint demography of African (Zimbabwe) …

Profound knowledge of demographic history is a prerequisite for the understanding and
inference of processes involved in the evolution of population differentiation and speciation …

Novel genes are essential for evolutionary innovations and differ substantially even between
closely related species. Recently, multiple studies across many taxa showed that some …
