Genetic admixture introduces new variants at relatively high frequencies, potentially aiding
rapid responses to environmental changes. Here, we evaluate its role in adaptive variation …

Understanding the phenotypic and genetic architecture of reproductive isolation is a long‐
standing goal of speciation research. In several systems, large‐effect loci contributing to …

In organisms reproducing sexually, speciation occurs when increasing divergence results in
pre‐or post‐zygotic reproductive isolation between lineages. Studies focusing on …

Hybrid zones can be studied by modeling clines of trait variation (eg, morphology, genetics)
over a linear transect. Yet, hybrid zones can also be spatially complex, can shift over time …

With the rise of affordable next generation sequencing technology, introgression—or the
exchange of genetic materials between taxa—is widely perceived to be a ubiquitous …

Spatially continuous patterns of genetic differentiation, which are common in nature, are
often poorly described by existing population genetic theory or methods that assume either …

Carotenoid pigments produce the yellow and red colors of birds and other vertebrates.
Despite their importance in social signaling and sexual selection, our understanding of how …

Small pelagic fish play an important role in marine trophic webs and human food security.
Among those, Sardinella aurita represents an extremely valuable resource in West Africa …

Uncertainties on species taxonomy and distribution are major factors hampering efficient
conservation planning in the current context of biodiversity erosion, even concerning …
