Relatively little is known about the character of gene expression evolution as species
diverge. It is for instance unclear if gene expression generally evolves in a clock‐like …

Host‐race formation in phytophagous insects is thought to provide the opportunity for local
adaptation and subsequent ecological speciation. Studying gene expression differences …

Personality traits in animals are often measured using standardised behavioural tests for
activity, boldness/shyness, sociability, aggression and exploration. These tests are quick …

Copy–number variants (CNVs) may play an important role in early adaptations, potentially
facilitating rapid divergence of populations. We describe an approach to study this question …

Background House mice are commensal animals with a nearly global distribution, structured
into well differentiated local populations. Besides genetic differences between the …

Background Although microarrays are analysis tools in biomedical research, they are known
to yield noisy output that usually requires experimental confirmation. To tackle this problem …

Simple Summary The role of natural selection on evolution at the gene expression level is
still not well-understood. However, it is important for better understanding the molecular …

Expression divergence, rather than sequence divergence, has been shown to be important
in speciation, particularly in the early stages of divergence of traits involved in reproductive …

Mice (Mus musculus) and rats (Rattus norvegicus) have long served as model systems for
biomedical research. However, they are also excellent models for studying the evolution of …

Background The interaction between viruses and their receptors in the host can be expected
to lead to an evolutionary arms race resulting in cycles of rapid adaptations. We focus here …
