The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

Chromosomal inversions have long fascinated evolutionary biologists due to their
suppression of recombination, which can protect co-adapted alleles. Emerging research …

Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in
human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection …

Supergenes are sets of genes that are inherited as a single marker and encode complex
phenotypes through their joint action. They are identified in an increasing number of …

Genomic comparisons of closely related species have identified “islands” of locally elevated
sequence divergence. Genomic islands may contain functional variants involved in local …

Adaptation to local conditions is a fundamental process in evolution; however, mechanisms
maintaining local adaptation despite high gene flow are still poorly understood. Marine …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are a major component of genotypic and phenotypic variation
in genomes. To date, our knowledge of genotypic variation and evolution has largely been …

Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive isolation is a central issue in the study of
speciation. Structural variants (SVs); that is, structural changes in DNA, including inversions …

The coexistence of discrete morphs that differ in multiple traits is common within natural
populations of many taxa. Such morphs are often associated with chromosomal inversions …

Life on Earth has been characterized by recurring cycles of ecological stasis and disruption,
relating biological eras to geological and climatic transitions through the history of our …
