Self-fertilization is widely believed to be an "evolutionary dead end" [1, 2], increasing the
risk of extinction [3] and the accumulation of deleterious mutations in genomes [4]. Strikingly, …

An increasing number of studies are simultaneously investigating species diversity ( SD )
and genetic diversity ( GD ) in the same systems, looking for ‘species– genetic diversity …

Understanding the demographic history and genetic make‐up of colonizing species is
critical for inferring population sources and colonization routes. This is of main interest for …

The breeding systems of many organisms are cryptic and difficult to investigate with
observational data, yet they have profound effects on a species’ ecology, evolution, and genome …

Population genetics is a convenient tool to study the population biology of non‐model and
hard to sample species. This is particularly true for parasites and vectors. Heterozygote …
