[HTML][HTML] Evolving inversions
Empirical data suggest that inversions in many species contain genes important for
intraspecific divergence and speciation, yet mechanisms of evolution remain unclear. While …

The coupling hypothesis: why genome scans may fail to map local adaptation genes
Genomic scans of multiple populations often reveal marker loci with greatly increased
differentiation between populations. Often this differentiation coincides in space with …

The rise and fall of an alien: why the successful colonizer Littorina saxatilis failed to invade the Mediterranean Sea
Understanding what determines range expansion or extinction is crucial to predict the
success of biological invaders. We tackled this long-standing question from an unparalleled …

Heterogeneous genome divergence, differential introgression, and the origin and structure of hybrid zones
RG Harrison, EL Larson - Molecular ecology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Hybrid zones have been promoted as windows on the evolutionary process and as
laboratories for studying divergence and speciation. Patterns of divergence between …

Clines on the seashore: The genomic architecture underlying rapid divergence in the face of gene flow
Adaptive divergence and speciation may happen despite opposition by gene flow.
Identifying the genomic basis underlying divergence with gene flow is a major task in …

Genetic variation for adaptive traits is associated with polymorphic inversions in Littorina saxatilis
Chromosomal inversions have long been recognized for their role in local adaptation. By
suppressing recombination in heterozygous individuals, they can maintain coadapted gene …

Parallel evolution of local adaptation and reproductive isolation in the face of gene flow
Parallel evolution of similar phenotypes provides strong evidence for the operation of natural
selection. Where these phenotypes contribute to reproductive isolation, they further support …

Multiple chromosomal rearrangements in a hybrid zone between Littorina saxatilis ecotypes
Both classical and recent studies suggest that chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are
important in adaptation and speciation. However, biases in discovery and reporting of …

On the causes of geographically heterogeneous parallel evolution in sticklebacks
The three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is an important model system for the
study of parallel evolution in the wild, having repeatedly colonized and adapted to …
