From evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen, a book that will make you see yourself and
the world around you in an entirely new way* Carrion crows in the Japanese city of Sendai …

The interplay of divergent selection and gene flow is key to understanding how populations
adapt to local environments and how new species form. Here, we use DNA polymorphism …

Cases of convergent adaptation demonstrate the power of natural selection and can be
used as an important tool for studying the molecular and ecological.. Geographically …

Extensive empirical work has demonstrated local adaptation to discrete environments, yet
few studies have elucidated the genetic and environment mechanisms that generate it …

The impact of human-mediated environmental change on the evolutionary trajectories of
wild organisms is poorly understood. In particular, capacity of species to adapt rapidly (in …

Spatially varying selection is a critical driver of adaptive differentiation. Yet, there are few
examples where the fitness effects of naturally segregating variants that contribute to local …

Understanding which environmental variables and traits underlie adaptation to harsh
environments is difficult because many traits evolve simultaneously as populations or …

Introduction: Heavy metal pollutants can have long lasting negative impacts on ecosystem
health and can shape the evolution of species. The persistent and ubiquitous nature of …
