Gene flow is a fundamental evolutionary force in adaptation that is especially important to
understand as humans are rapidly changing both the natural environment and natural levels …

With increasing demand for mineral resources, extraction of polymetallic sulphides at
hydrothermal vents, cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts at seamounts, and polymetallic …

Genome sequence data are now being routinely obtained from many nonmodel organisms.
These data contain a wealth of information about the demographic history of the populations …

Positive selection occurs when an allele is favored by natural selection. The frequency of the
favored allele increases in the population and due to genetic hitchhiking the neighboring …

Understanding how natural selection shapes genetic variation in populations is of
paramount importance in evolutionary biology. Affordable high-throughput sequencing now …

There is substantial interest in uncovering the genetic basis of the traits underlying adaptive
responses in tree species, as this information will ultimately aid conservation and industrial …

Short-scale local adaptation is a complex process involving selection, migration, and drift.
The expected effects on the genome are well grounded in theory but examining these on an …

An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses various reports within the issue on
topics including rise in biological reality of the assumptions underlying scans for selection …

Parallel evolution and the extent to which it involves gene reuse have attracted much
interest. Whereas it has theoretically been predicted under which circumstances gene reuse …

Divergent host use has long been suspected to drive population differentiation and
speciation in plant‐feeding insects. Evaluating the contribution of divergent host use to …
