Estimating the rate of exchange of individuals among populations is a central concern to
evolutionary ecology and its applications to conservation and management. For instance …

Hybrid zones provide a powerful opportunity to analyze ecological and evolutionary
interactions between divergent lineages. As such, research on hybrid zones has played a …

Chromosomal inversions are an important form of structural variation that can affect
recombination, chromosome structure and fitness. However, because inversions can be …

How locally adapted ecotypes are established and maintained within a species is a long-
standing question in evolutionary biology. Using forest and prairie ecotypes of deer mice …

The genetic architecture of speciation, ie, how intrinsic genomic incompatibilities promote
reproductive isolation (RI) between diverging lineages, is one of the best-kept secrets of …

Many recent species delimitation studies rely exclusively on limited analyses of genetic data
analyzed under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model, and results from these studies …

Speciation can involve a transition from a few genetic loci that are resistant to gene flow to
genome-wide differentiation. However, only limited data exist concerning this transition and …

Barriers to gene flow between divergent populations result in contact (hybrid) zones.
Locations where multiple contact zones overlap can be used in comparative studies asking …

Adaptive divergence and speciation may happen despite opposition by gene flow.
Identifying the genomic basis underlying divergence with gene flow is a major task in …

Both classical and recent studies suggest that chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are
important in adaptation and speciation. However, biases in discovery and reporting of …
