Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

Selective breeding is increasingly recognized as a key component of sustainable production
of aquaculture species. The uptake of genomic technology in aquaculture breeding has …

Background DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms for the regulation of
gene expression in eukaryotes. In the standard model, methylation in gene promoters has …

Speciation results from the progressive accumulation of mutations that decrease the
probability of mating between parental populations or reduce the fitness of hybrids—the so …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Genome sequence data are now being routinely obtained from many nonmodel organisms.
These data contain a wealth of information about the demographic history of the populations …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from water samples has recently shown potential as a
valuable source of population genetic information for aquatic macroorganisms. This …

The interplay between nutrition and immune system is well recognised, however the true
integration of research between nutrition, animal energy status and immune function is still …

Estimating the rate of exchange of individuals among populations is a central concern to
evolutionary ecology and its applications to conservation and management. For instance …

Can genetic adaptation in reef-building corals keep pace with the current rate of sea surface
warming? Here we combine population genomics, biophysical modeling, and evolutionary …
