Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

“Is there a biology of intelligence which is characteristic of the normal human nervous
system?” Here we review 37 modern neuroimaging studies in an attempt to address this …

Identifying loci under natural selection from genomic surveys is of great interest in different
research areas. Commonly used methods to separate neutral effects from adaptive effects …

Although range expansions have occurred recurrently in the history of most species, their
genetic consequences have been little investigated. Theoretical studies show that range …

Competition between random genetic drift and natural selection play a central role in
evolution: Whereas nonbeneficial mutations often prevail in small populations by chance …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Recent studies have shown that low-frequency alleles can sometimes surf on the wave of
advance of a population range expansion, reaching high frequencies and spreading over …

Studies of invasive species can simultaneously inform management strategies and quantify
rapid evolution in the wild. The role of genomics in invasion science is increasingly …

The relatively large brain and expanded cerebral cortex of humans is unusual in the animal
kingdom and is thought to have promoted our adaptability and success as a species. One …

The recent availability of genome-scale genotyping data has led to the identification of
regions of the human genome that seem to have been targeted by selection. These findings …
