… Two subspecies of European crow, Corvus corvus corvis and C. corvus corone, differ by a
2.25-kb retrotransposon insertion that affects plumage, a trait involved in premating isolation [ …

Research on the genomic architecture of speciation has increasingly revealed the importance
of structural variants (SVs) that affect the presence, abundance, position, and/or direction …

It is widely documented that hybridisation occurs between many closely related species, but
the importance of introgression in adaptive evolution remains unclear, especially in animals. …

New mutations are shown as squares in the later time point. For details see text (cf. …

… This contrasts with the general finding of overdominance in European populations of C. … ,
our data were consistent with previous estimates on C. frigida populations raised at low density …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are a major component of genotypic and phenotypic variation
in genomes. To date, our knowledge of genotypic variation and evolution has largely been …

… We built the first reference genome assembly for C. frigida and sequenced 1,446 whole
genomes at low coverage. Using this comprehensive data set, we analyzed patterns of genetic …
