Aim We consider the opportunities and challenges comparative phylogeography (CP) faces
in the genomic age to determine:(1) how we can maximise the potential of big CP analyses …

Background In the past several millenniums, we have domesticated several crop species
that are crucial for human civilization, which is a symbol of significant human influence on …

Evidence is accumulating that gene flow commonly occurs between recently diverged
species, despite the existence of barriers to gene flow in their genomes. However, we still …

Broadly distributed species experience divergent abiotic conditions across their ranges that
may drive local adaptation. Montane systems where populations are distributed across both …

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 …

Hybridisation is well documented in many species, especially plants. Although hybrid
populations might be short-lived and do not evolve into new lineages, hybridisaiton could …

Background The study of speciation has expanded with the increasing availability and
affordability of high-resolution genomic data. How the genome evolves throughout the …

Apparent cases of sympatric speciation may actually be due to micro-allopatric or micro-
parapatric speciation. One way to distinguish between these models is to examine the …

Combining genetic and ecological measures of differentiation can provide compelling
evidence for ecological and genetic divergence among lineages. The rough-footed mud …

The idea that populations must be geographically isolated (allopatric) to evolve into
separate species has persisted for a long time. It is now clear that new species can also …
