By formalizing the relationship between genotype or phenotype and fitness, fitness landscapes
harbor information on molecular and evolutionary constraints. The shape of the fitness …

Phenotypic plasticity may allow species to cope with environmental variation. The study of
thermal plasticity and its evolution helps understanding how populations respond to variation …

The roles of history, chance and selection have long been debated in evolutionary biology.
Though uniform selection is expected to lead to convergent evolution between populations, …

Inversions are structural mutations that reverse the sequence of a chromosome segment and
reduce the effective rate of recombination in the heterozygous state. They play a major role …

The importance of contingency versus predictability in evolution has been a long-standing
issue, particularly the interaction between genetic background, founder effects, and selection. …

A key step in understanding the genetic basis of different evolutionary outcomes (eg,
adaptation) is to determine the roles played by different mutation types (eg, SNPs, translocations …

In natural populations, the large changes in chromosomal structure occurring through
chromosomal inversions show pronounced variations in frequency that often correspond to …

Latitudinal clines in the frequency of various chromosomal inversions are well documented
in Drosophila subobscura. Because these clines are roughly parallel on three continents, …

Gene-environment interactions have long been theorized to influence molecular evolution.
However, the environmental dependence of most mutations remains unknown. Using deep …
