Characterizing the population history of a species and identifying loci underlying local adaptation
is crucial in functional ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation and agronomy. The …

Museum specimens are of particular importance for investigating systematics and the
biogeography as well as other aspects of the evolution of biodiversity. They are also a depository …

Studies on melanin-based color variation in a context of natural selection have provided a
wealth of information on the link between phenotypic and genetic variation. Here, we …

Adaptation to local environmental conditions and the range dynamics of populations can
influence evolutionary divergence along environmental gradients. Thus, it is important to …

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for phenotypic diversification within and
among species ultimately rests with linking naturally occurring mutations to functionally and …

The Réunion grey white-eye (Zosterops borbonicus), a small passerine endemic to the
island of Réunion (Mascarene archipelago), constitutes an extraordinary case of phenotypic …

Aim Niche modelling is increasingly used to predict species' geographical distributions or to
infer the evolutionary or ecological processes that constrain them, but relatively few studies …

Recently diverged taxa showing marked phenotypic and ecological diversity provide optimal
systems to understand the genetic processes underlying speciation. We used genome‐…

Here, we present an adaptation of restriction‐site‐associated DNA sequencing ( RAD ‐seq)
to the I llumina H i S eq2000 technology that we used to produce SNP markers in very large …

Aim Spider communities on oceanic islands are assembled through multiple immigration
and/or diversification events. In this study, we use a phylogenetic approach to investigate the …
