Patterns of local adaptation at fine spatial scales are central to understanding how evolution
proceeds, and are essential to the effective management of economically and ecologically …

Interactions between extrinsic factors, such as disruptive selection and intrinsic factors, such
as genetic incompatibilities among loci, often contribute to the maintenance of species …

Microbial communities are recognized as major drivers of the biogeochemical processes in
the oceans. However, the genetic diversity and composition of those communities is poorly …

Background Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a malignancy characterized by dissemination
of mucus-secreting cells throughout the peritoneum. This disease is associated with …

The European gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) was first introduced to Massachusetts in
1869 and within 150 years has spread throughout eastern North America. This large‐scale …

Explaining the origin and evolutionary dynamics of the genetic architecture of adaptation is
a major research goal of evolutionary genetics. Despite controversy surrounding success of …

Prokaryotic communities are recognized as major drivers of the biogeochemical processes
in the oceans. However, the genetic diversity and composition of those communities is poorly …

Long-lived species of trees, especially conifers, often display weak patterns of reproductive
isolation, but clear patterns of local adaptation and phenotypic divergence. Discovering the …

Post-translation modification by sumoylation is an important step in the regulation of many
cellular processes. Existing programs predict sumoylation sites based on a consensus motif ( …

Water availability is an important driver of the geographic distribution of many plant species,
although its importance relative to other climatic variables varies across climate regimes and …
