The analysis of polymorphism data is becoming increasingly important as a complementary
tool to classical genetic analyses. Nevertheless, despite plunging sequencing costs …

All life forms across the globe are experiencing drastic changes in environmental conditions
as a result of global climate change. These environmental changes are happening rapidly …

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 …

Comparing allele frequencies among populations that differ in environment has long been a
tool for detecting loci involved in local adaptation. However, such analyses are complicated …

Additive genetic variance (VA) reflects the potential for evolutionary shifts and can be low for
some traits or populations. High VA is critical for the conservation of threatened species …

Natural history collections provide an immense record of biodiversity on Earth. These
repositories have traditionally been used to address fundamental questions in …

The rapid rate of current global climate change is having strong effects on many species
and, at least in some cases, is driving evolution, particularly when changes in conditions …

The first goal of this paper was to overview modern approaches to local adaptation, with a
focus on the use of population genomics data to detect signals of natural selection in fishes …

Life-history traits or “fitness components”—such as age and size at maturity, fecundity and
fertility, age-specific rates of survival, and life span—are the major phenotypic determinants …

Evolve and resequence (E&R) experiments use experimental evolution to adapt populations
to a novel environment, then next-generation sequencing to analyse genetic changes. They …
