The past fifty years have seen the development and application of numerous statistical
methods to identify genomic regions that appear to be shaped by natural selection. These …

Detecting genetic variants under selection using FST outlier analysis (OA) and
environmental association analyses (EAAs) are popular approaches that provide insight into …

Local adaptation is a central feature of most species occupying spatially heterogeneous
environments, and may factor critically in responses to environmental change. However …

Several methods have been proposed to test for introgression across genomes. One method
tests for a genome-wide excess of shared derived alleles between taxa using Patterson's D …

The fields of ecological and conservation genetics have developed greatly in recent
decades through the use of molecular markers to investigate organisms in their natural …

Given genomic variation data from multiple individuals, computing the likelihood of complex
population genetic models is often infeasible. To circumvent this problem, we introduce a …

Characterizing the population history of a species and identifying loci underlying local
adaptation is crucial in functional ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation and …

Under the neutral theory, genetic diversity is expected to increase with population size.
While comparative analyses have consistently failed to find strong relationships between …

Transposable elements (TEs) play an important role in shaping genomic organization and
structure, and may cause dramatic changes in phenotypes. Despite the genetic load they …

The genomics era has opened up exciting possibilities in the field of conservation biology by
enabling genomic analyses of threatened species that previously were limited to model …
