Abstract. Cultural repertoires can influence access to resources and fitness across species, impacting individuals' environmental niches and social network

The capacity to adapt is essential for a population to avoid extinction in a changing world and is recognized as a global conservation priority. Ad...

Abstract. Despite its detrimental effects, inbreeding depression in wild populations is relatively under-explored. Here, we use whole-genome sequence data

Abstract. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of a large number of samples is costly. Solutions include targeting a proportion of the genome (eg SNP arrays) or l

Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self-maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade-off remains poorly understood. We sho...

The Department of Systems Analysis, Integrated Assessment and Modelling (SIAM) has an opening for a

dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and re...

Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and ...

Nature Genetics - The future of polygenic risk scores in direct-to-consumer genomics

Genotype imputation, the inference of missing genotypes using a reference set of population haplotypes, is a cost-effective tool for improving the quality and quantity of genetic datasets. Imputation...

This is a reference manual for the elegant, yet hideously complex concept of effective population size (Ne), inspired by a classic, self-published manual of automotive repair ‘for the compleat idiot’...

Abstract. Dioecious plants are frequently sexually dimorphic. Such dimorphism, which reflects responses to selection acting in opposite directions for male

Abstract. Selection often favors different trait values in males and females, leading to genetic conflicts between the sexes when traits have a shared gene

Abstract. Environmental stress can exacerbate inbreeding depression by amplifying differences between inbred and outbred individuals. In wild populations,
