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 …

The Orthoptera have inhabited the Earth for ca 300 million years and today include about
25,000 described species. Although orthopterans are mainly known to the general public by …

We use forward and coalescent models of population genetics to study chromosome fusions
that reduce the recombination between two locally adapted loci. Under a continent–island …

Grasshoppers are important elements for supporting ecosystem services which make it
important to understand their spatial distribution characteristics to reduce outbreaks …

Chromosomal inversions have been implicated in facilitating adaptation in the face of high
levels of gene flow, but whether chromosomal fusions also have similar potential remains …

Chromosomal fusions are hypothesized to facilitate adaptation to divergent environments,
both by bringing together previously unlinked adaptive alleles and by creating regions of low …

Chromosomal rearrangements (eg, inversions, fusions, and translocations) have long been
associated with environmental variation in wild populations. New genomic tools provide the …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is almost universal in animals. Rensch? s rule proposes that
SSD increases with increasing average body size in taxa where males are larger than …

Environmental gradients in a marine setting may have significant effects on morphological
variations and evolutionary patterns, including sexual dimorphism variations within and …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) although a widespread phenomenon among animals, is both
enigmatic as to its proximate and ultimate causes and the scaling relationships between …
