Abstract: The genomic architecture of barriers to gene exchange during the speciation process is poorly understood. The genomic islands model suggests that loci associated with barriers to gene exchange prevent introgression of nearby genomic regions via… read more here.

Abstract: Simple Summary Asymmetry in bilateral structures occurs when animals experience perturbations during development. This fluctuating asymmetry (FA) may serve as a reliable indicator of the functional importance of a structure. For example, locomotor structures often… read more here.
