Most adaption processes have a polygenic genetic basis, but even with the recent explosive
growth of genomic data we are still lacking a unified framework describing the dynamics of …

Domestication is a co-evolutionary process that occurs when wild plants are brought into
cultivation by humans, leading to origin of new species and/or differentiated populations that …

Bread wheat expanded its habitat from a core area of the Fertile Crescent to global
environments within~ 10,000 years. The genetic mechanisms of this remarkable …

Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

Observations about the number, frequency, effect size, and genomic distribution of alleles
associated with complex traits must be interpreted in light of evolutionary process. These …

Multivariate climate change presents an urgent need to understand how species adapt to
complex environments. Population genetic theory predicts that loci under selection will form …

Parallel adaptation provides valuable insight into the predictability of evolutionary change
through replicated natural experiments. A steadily increasing number of studies have …

The study of parallel ecological divergence provides important clues to the operation of
natural selection. Parallel divergence often occurs in heterogeneous environments with …

When diverse lineages repeatedly adapt to similar environmental challenges, the extent to
which the same genes are involved (gene reuse) varies across systems. We propose that …

Evolutionary convergence provides natural opportunities to investigate how, when, and why
novel traits evolve. Many convergent traits are complex, highlighting the importance of …
