Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

The increasing availability of genomic resequencing data sets and high-quality reference
genomes across the tree of life present exciting opportunities for comparative population …

Populations with higher genetic diversity and larger effective sizes have greater evolutionary
capacity (ie, adaptive potential) to respond to ecological stressors. We are interested in how …

The domestication and subsequent development of sheep are crucial events in the history of
human civilization and the agricultural revolution. However, the impact of interspecific …

The question of how local adaptation takes place remains a fundamental question in
evolutionary biology. The variation of allele frequencies in genes under selection over …

Abstract Background In the Neolithic, domestic sheep migrated into Europe and
subsequently spread in westerly and northwesterly directions. Reconstruction of these …

Genomes capture the adaptive and demographic history of a species, but the choice of
sequencing strategy and sample size can impact such inferences. We compared whole …

Local adaptation is facilitated by loci clustered in relatively few regions of the genome,
termed genomic islands of divergence. The mechanisms that create and maintain these …

Characterising and predicting species responses to anthropogenic global change is one of
the key challenges in contemporary ecology and conservation. The sensitivity of marine …

Global change is impacting biodiversity across all habitats on earth. New selection
pressures from changing climatic conditions and other anthropogenic activities are creating …
