Species persistence following hybridization in nature requires the purging of introgressed alleles. Genomic monitoring of a tsunami-induced hybrid stickleback population in Japan reveals rapid genome-...

Despite the ubiquity of wild boar populations across Eurasia, their origins, routes of dispersal, and phenotypic evolution remain uncertain. Here, using 745 genomes representing populations across Eur...

Telomeres have the crucial role of protecting chromosome ends and its length varies significantly between organisms. What evolutionary factor shapes this natural variation has been a long standing que...

According to classic population genetics theory, recombination shapes the efficacy of natural selection. However, whether variation in recombination rate itself translates into meaningful differences ...

Applications are invited for an Assistant or Associate Professorship in Pathogen Genetics to be held in the Department of Genetics. We are searching for a talented individual with a track record of fu...

Genomic inversions spanning many genes can persist for millions of years. This study of Trinidadian guppy populations reveals how both ecological conditions and mate choice help maintain this hidden l...

Recent decades have witnessed an unprecedented rise in avian fossil discoveries that directly inform our understanding of bird origins and evolution, the stepwise assemblage of the avian body plan,...

Abstract. When invasive populations establish in regions far from their origin, they may accumulate deleterious mutations that limit population viability a

European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is a keystone tree species throughout temperate Europe whose future existence is threatened by ash dieback disease (ADB). Here, the authors report the constructi...

The Department of Biology at Stanford University seeks applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Evolutionary Biology. A successful candidate will conduct research that asks fundamental que...

Existing pedigree approaches to identifying de novo mutations (DNMs) require at least two parents and a single offspring, limiting applicability. Here, we introduce OOPS (Only One Parent Sequencing), ...

RAxML-NG is a widely used tool for maximum likelihood based phylogenetic inference. In the seven years since the last RAxML-NG publication, we have continuously improved and extended the code. Here, w...

Over the past century, the generalized Lotka–Volterra (GLV) model has grown from a mathematical curiosity to a cornerstone of theoretical ecology. Here we celebrate the enduring legacy of Lotka and Vo...

Are you passionate about evolutionary biology and want to make a major contribution to the literature? If so, you could be the next Reviews Editor for Evolution ! We are seeking someone with ...

Climate crisis could increase incursions of Aedes aegypti, which can transmit Zika virus and dengue, experts say

Lund University welcomes applicants with different backgrounds and experiences. Gender equality, equal opportunities and diversity are fundamental principles in all parts of the University’s activit

AbstractMotivation. Recent advances in inference of the ancestral recombination graph (ARG), which describes how segments of chromosomes trace back through

The authors present Gnomix, a local ancestry framework that delivers leading accuracy across diverse admixed datasets on both whole-genome and array data with high efficiency, together with Gnofix, it...

Adaptation in protein-coding sequences can be detected from multiple sequence alignments across species or alternatively by leveraging polymorphism...
