Balancing selection is an evolutionary process that maintains genetic polymorphisms at
selected loci and strongly reduces the likelihood of allele fixation. When allelic …

The mass application of whole mitogenome (MG) sequencing has great potential for
resolving complex phylogeographic patterns that cannot be resolved by partial mitogenomic …

Biological invasion has been a serious global threat due to increasing international trade
and population movements. Tracking the source and route of invasive species and …

In the post-genomic era, much of phylogenetic analyses still relies on mitochondrial DNA,
either alone or in combination with few nuclear genes. Although this approach often makes it …

The dynamics of extinction and (re) colonization in habitat patches are characterizing
features of dynamic metapopulations, causing them to evolve differently than large, stable …

Microsporidia have the leanest genomes among eukaryotes, and their physiological and
genomic simplicity has been attributed to their intracellular, obligate parasitic life-style …

A concomitant effect of a hydraulic fracturing experimenting is frequently fluid permeation
into the rock matrix, with the injected fluid permeating through the porous rock matrix (leak …

Daphnia are well-established ecological and evolutionary models, and the interaction
between D. magna and its microparasites is widely considered a paragon of the host …

Species with wide geographical distributions are often adapted locally to the prevailing
temperatures. To understand how they respond to ongoing climatic change, we must …

Analysing variation in a species' genomic diversity can provide insights into its historical
demography, biogeography and population structure, and thus its ecology and evolution …
