Motivation fastsimcoal2 extends fastsimcoal, a continuous time coalescent-based genetic
simulation program, by enabling the estimation of demographic parameters under very …

Human impacts such as habitat loss, climate change and biological invasions are radically
altering biodiversity, with greater effects projected into the future. Evidence suggests human …

Informed management and conservation efforts are vital to sustainable recreational fishing
and biodiversity conservation. Because the taxonomic rank of species is important in …

Diadromy, the predictable movements of individuals between marine and freshwater
environments, is biogeographically and phylogenetically widespread across fishes. Thus …

Parallel and convergent evolution offer some of the most compelling evidence for the
significance of natural selection in evolution, as the emergence of similar adaptive solutions …

Abstract The Bering Land Bridge (BLB) last connected Eurasia and North America during
the Late Pleistocene. Although the BLB would have enabled transfers of terrestrial biota in …

Population genetic theory predicts that small effective population sizes (N e) and restricted
gene flow limit the potential for local adaptation. In particular, the probability of evolving …

Speciation is a continuous process. Although it is known that differential adaptation can
initiate divergence even in the face of gene flow, we know relatively little about the …

Understanding the immunogenetic basis of coronavirus (CoV) susceptibility in major
pathogen reservoirs, such as bats, is central to inferring their zoonotic potential. Members of …

The marine-based West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is considered vulnerable to irreversible
collapse under future climate trajectories, and its tipping point may lie within the mitigated …
