Genomic data have the potential to revolutionize the delineation of conservation units (CUs)
by allowing the detection of adaptive genetic variation, which is otherwise difficult for rare …

In allopatric populations, geographical separation simultaneously isolates the entire
genome, allowing genetic divergence to accumulate virtually anywhere in the genome. In …

Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity for an individual genotype to produce different
phenotypes in response to environmental variation. Most traits are plastic, but the degree to …

Population genetic studies provide insights into the evolutionary processes that influence
the distribution of sequence variants within and among wild populations. FST is among the …

Atlantic salmon (S almo salar) is one of the most extensively studied fish species in the world
due to its significance in aquaculture, fisheries and ongoing conservation efforts to protect …

Metabolic rates and life history strategies are both thought to set the “pace of life”, but
whether they evolve in tandem is not well understood. Here, using a common garden …

The evolutionary mechanisms generating the tremendous biodiversity of islands have long
fascinated evolutionary biologists. Genetic drift and divergent selection are predicted to be …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have gained wide use in humans and model
species and are becoming the marker of choice for applications in other species …

Diverse microbial consortia profoundly influence animal biology, necessitating an
understanding of microbiome variation in studies of animal adaptation. Yet, little is known …

Aedes albopictus, the “Asian tiger mosquito,” is an aggressive biting mosquito native to Asia
that has colonized all continents except Antarctica during the last~ 30–40 years. The species …
