Supergenes are sets of genes that are inherited as a single marker and encode complex
phenotypes through their joint action. They are identified in an increasing number of …

The mode and extent of rapid evolution and genomic change in response to human
harvesting are key conservation issues. Although experiments and models have shown a …

How genomic selection enables species to adapt to divergent environments is a
fundamental question in ecology and evolution. We investigated the genomic signatures of …

Adaptation to local conditions is a fundamental process in evolution; however, mechanisms
maintaining local adaptation despite high gene flow are still poorly understood. Marine …

Identification of genome-wide patterns of divergence provides insight on how genomes are
influenced by selection and can reveal the potential for local adaptation in spatially …

Chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions can play a crucial role in maintaining
polymorphism underlying complex traits and contribute to the process of speciation. In …

In several species genetic differentiation across environmental gradients or between
geographically separate populations has been reported to center at “genomic islands of …

How early stages of speciation in free-spawning marine invertebrates proceed is poorly
understood. The Western Pacific abalones, Haliotis discus, H. madaka, and H. gigantea …

Selection can create complex patterns of adaptive differentiation among populations in the
wild that may be relevant to management. Atlantic cod in the Northwest Atlantic are at a …

Genomic architecture and standing variation can play a key role in ecological adaptation
and contribute to the predictability of evolution. In Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), four large …
