Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Landscape genomics is an emerging research field that aims to identify the environmental
factors that shape adaptive genetic variation and the gene variants that drive local …

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 …

Identifying adaptive loci can provide insight into the mechanisms underlying local
adaptation. Genotype–environment association (GEA) methods, which identify these loci …

Loci responsible for local adaptation are likely to have more genetic differentiation among
populations than neutral loci. However, neutral loci can vary widely in their amount of …

Gene-environment association (GEA) studies are essential to understand the past and
ongoing adaptations of organisms to their environment, but those studies are complicated by …

Local adaptation is a central feature of most species occupying spatially heterogeneous
environments, and may factor critically in responses to environmental change. However …

Although genome scans have become a popular approach towards understanding the
genetic basis of local adaptation, the field still does not have a firm grasp on how sampling …

In population genomics studies, accounting for the neutral covariance structure across
population allele frequencies is critical to improve the robustness of genome-wide scan …

The study of local adaptation is rendered difficult by many evolutionary confounding
phenomena (for example, genetic drift and demographic history). When complex traits are …
