The importance of plant genetic diversity (PGD) is now being recognized as a specific area
since exploding population with urbanization and decreasing cultivable lands are the critical …

Population size history is essential for studying human evolution. However, ancient
population size history during the Pleistocene is notoriously difficult to unravel. In this study …

Seahorses have a circum-global distribution in tropical to temperate coastal waters. Yet,
seahorses show many adaptations for a sedentary, cryptic lifestyle: they require specific …

As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by
rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural …

Although many computer programs can perform population genetics calculations, they are
typically limited in the analyses and data input formats they offer; few applications can …

As modern and ancient DNA sequence data from diverse human populations accumulate,
evidence is increasing in support of the existence of beneficial variants acquired from …

The past fifty years have seen the development and application of numerous statistical
methods to identify genomic regions that appear to be shaped by natural selection. These …

The geographic and temporal origins of the domestic dog remain controversial, as genetic
data suggest a domestication process in East Asia beginning 15,000 years ago, whereas …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …
