Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

Experimental evolution is well-suited to test the predictability of evolution without the
confounding effects of inaccurate forecasts about future environments. Most of the literature …

Soybean (Glycine max) was domesticated from its wild relative Glycine soja. One‐hundred‐
seed weight is one of the most important domesticated traits determining soybean yield; …

Understanding how organisms adapt to the environment is a major goal of modern biology.
Parallel evolution—the independent evolution of similar phenotypes in different populations …

Hybridisation is well documented in many species, especially plants. Although hybrid
populations might be short-lived and do not evolve into new lineages, hybridisaiton could …

Identifying the genetic architecture underlying adaptive traits is exceptionally challenging in
natural populations. This is because associations between traits not only mask the targets of …

Populations may adapt to similar environments via parallel or non‐parallel genetic changes,
but the frequency of these alternative mechanisms and underlying contributing factors are …

Understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits is a major objective in biology. The
standard approach for doing so is genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which aim to …

Until now the genus Amana (Liliaceae), known as 'East Asian tulips', has contained just
seven species. In this study, a phylogenomic and integrative taxonomic approach was used …

Parallel evolution of ecotypes occurs when selection independently drives the evolution of
similar traits across similar environments. The multiple origins of ecotypes are often inferred …
