Genetic admixture of divergent intraspecific lineages is increasingly suspected to have an
important role in the success of colonising populations. However, admixture is not a …

This article reviews recent developments in Bayesian algorithms that explicitly include
geographical information in the inference of population structure. Current models …

The past few years have witnessed a revolution in our ability to obtain DNA from ancient
humans. This important new data has added to our knowledge from archaeology and …

Abstract Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a multivariate analysis that reduces the
complexity of datasets while preserving data covariance. The outcome can be visualized on …

Inference of individual ancestry coefficients, which is important for population genetic and
association studies, is commonly performed using computer-intensive likelihood algorithms …

Many aspects of the historical relationships between populations in a species are reflected
in genetic data. Inferring these relationships from genetic data, however, remains a …

Niche construction is the process by which organisms construct important components of
their local environment in ways that introduce novel selection pressures. Lactase …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

The origin and fate of new mutations within species is the fundamental process underlying
evolution. However, while much attention has been focused on characterizing the presence …

The Palaearctic B ombus ruderatus (in 1982/1983) and B ombus terrestris (1998) have both
been introduced into S outh A merica (C hile) for pollination purposes. We here report on the …
