I discuss future challenges and opportunities in genetic approaches to biodiversity
conservation. Resolving taxonomy uncertainties and identifying diverged evolutionary units …

In spite of the long‐term interest in the process of balancing selection, its frequency in
genomes and evolutionary significance remain unclear due to challenges related to its …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

The first goal of this paper was to overview modern approaches to local adaptation, with a
focus on the use of population genomics data to detect signals of natural selection in fishes …

We review and analyze the available literature on the frequency and distribution of self-
incompatibility (SI) among angiosperms and find that SI is reported in more than 100 families …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is an important mechanism that prevents self-fertilization and
inbreeding in flowering plants. The most widespread SI system utilizes S ribonucleases (S …

The selective mechanisms for maintaining polymorphism in natural populations has been
the subject of theory, experiments, and review over the past half century. Advances in …

Recent genomic data have found that many genes show the signal of selection. How many
of these genes are undergoing heterozygote advantage selection is only beginning to be …

Crucihimalaya himalaica, a close relative of Arabidopsis and Capsella, grows on the
Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) about 4,000 m above sea level and represents an attractive …

The ABO histo-blood group, the critical determinant of transfusion incompatibility, was the
first genetic polymorphism discovered in humans. Remarkably, ABO antigens are also …
