Ecological genomics meets community‐level modelling of biodiversity: Mapping the genomic landscape of current and future environmental adaptation

MC Fitzpatrick, SR Keller - Ecology letters, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Local adaptation is a central feature of most species occupying spatially heterogeneous

Genetic isolation by environment or distance: which pattern of gene flow is most common?

JP Sexton, SB Hangartner, AA Hoffmann - Evolution, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Gene flow among populations can enhance local adaptation if it introduces new genetic
variants available for selection, but strong gene flow can also stall adaptation by swamping …

Robust identification of local adaptation from allele frequencies

T Günther, G Coop - Genetics, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Comparing allele frequencies among populations that differ in environment has long been a
