Abstract: Abstract Species distributed along mountain slopes, facing contrasting habitats in short geographic scale, are of particular interest to test how ecologically based divergent selection promotes phenotypic and genetic disparities as well as to assess isolation‐by‐environment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.livsci.2021.104587
Abstract: Abstract The evolution and domestication of pigs is a complex and ongoing process. Despite its rich biodiversity and proximity to the geographical origins of Sus scrofa domesticus, the place of Indian pigs in the global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac064
Abstract: Abstract Speciation plays a central role in evolutionary studies, and particularly how reproductive isolation (RI) evolves. The origins and persistence of RI are distinct processes that require separate evaluations. Treating them separately clarifies the drivers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14007
Abstract: Speciation is driven by traits that can act to prevent mating between nascent lineages, including male courtship and female preference for male traits. Mating barriers involving these traits evolve quickly because there is strong selection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16115
Abstract: High genetic variation and extensive gene flow may help forest trees with adapting to ongoing climate change, yet the genetic bases underlying their adaptive potential remain largely unknown. We investigated range‐wide patterns of potentially adaptive… read more here.
