Abstract: Species distributed across heterogeneous environments often evolve locally adapted ecotypes, but understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in their formation and maintenance in the face of gene flow is incomplete. In Burkina Faso, the major… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2022.0046
Abstract: Experimental evolution is well-suited to test the predictability of evolution without the confounding effects of inaccurate forecasts about future environments. Most of the literature about parallel (and thus predictable) evolution has been carried out in… read more here.
