Characterizing the population history of a species and identifying loci underlying local
adaptation is crucial in functional ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation and …

Stochastic simulation is a key tool in population genetics, since the models involved are
often analytically intractable and simulation is usually the only way of obtaining ground-truth …

Many recent statistical applications involve inference under complex models, where it is
computationally prohibitive to calculate likelihoods but possible to simulate data …

The genetic changes underlying the initial steps of animal domestication are still poorly
understood. We generated a high-quality reference genome for the rabbit and compared it to …

The notion of species as reproductively isolated units related through a bifurcating tree
implies that gene trees should generally agree with the species tree and that sister taxa …

The relative influence of Neogene geomorphological events and Quaternary climatic
changes as causal mechanisms on Neotropical diversification remains largely speculative …

Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa has consistently been shown to be the most genetically diverse
region in the world. Despite the fact that a substantial portion of this variation is partitioned …

Drosophila melanogaster spread from sub-Saharan Africa to the rest of the world colonizing
new environments. Here, we modeled the joint demography of African (Zimbabwe) …

Speciation is a continuous process and analysis of species pairs at different stages of
divergence provides insight into how it unfolds. Previous genomic studies on young species …

Profound knowledge of demographic history is a prerequisite for the understanding and
inference of processes involved in the evolution of population differentiation and speciation …
