DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2207634119
Abstract: Significance Many ecosystems are altered by human activity. To survive, affected populations must respond to these changes by means of adaptive plasticity or adaptive trait evolution. Allele frequency changes at functional loci provide evidence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14777
Abstract: The ubiquity of the “two rules of speciation”—Haldane's rule and the large X‐effect—implies a general, special role for sex chromosomes in the evolution of intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation. The recent proliferation of genome‐scale analyses has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1009762
Abstract: The development of genome-informed methods for identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) and studying the genetic basis of quantitative variation in natural and experimental populations has been driven by advances in high-throughput genotyping. For many complex… read more here.
