Tuberculosis (TB) has been responsible for the greatest number of human deaths due to an
infectious disease in general, and due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in particular. The …

Highly fecund natural populations characterized by high early mortality abound, yet our
knowledge about their recruitment dynamics is somewhat rudimentary. This knowledge gap …

Marine phytoplankton play crucial roles in the Earth's ecological, chemical, and geological
processes. They are responsible for about half of global primary production and drive the …

The standard neutral model of molecular evolution has traditionally been used as the null
model for population genomics. We gathered a collection of 45 genome-wide site frequency …

The reproductive mechanism of a species is a key driver of genome evolution. The standard
Wright-Fisher model for the reproduction of individuals in a population assumes that each …

Accurate inference of the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) between pairs
of individuals and of the age of genomic variants is key in several population genetic …

Range expansions accelerate evolution through multiple mechanisms, including gene
surfing and genetic drift. The inference and control of these evolutionary processes …

Modern agricultural practices, climate change, and globalization foster the rapid spread of
plant pathogens, such as the maize fungal pathogen Setosphaeria turcica, which causes …

The speed of population adaptation to changing biotic and abiotic environments is
determined by the interaction between genetic drift, positive selection and linkage effects …

Exchange of genetic material through sexual reproduction or horizontal gene transfer is
ubiquitous in nature. Among the few outliers that rarely recombine and mainly evolve by de …
