Evolutionary genomics can improve prediction of species’ responses to climate change

Ann‐Marie Waldvogel, Barbara Feldmeyer, Gregor Rolshausen et al. · 14 Jan 2020

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species, and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of GCC because they might not be able to respond fast enough to changing biotic and abiotic conditions. Species can respond either by shifting their range, or by persisting in…

Strongly deleterious mutations are a primary determinant of extinction risk due to inbreeding depression

Christopher C. Kyriazis, Robert K. Wayne, Kirk E. Lohmueller · 18 Dec 2020

Human-driven habitat fragmentation and loss have led to a proliferation of small and isolated plant and animal populations with high risk of extinction. One of the main threats to extinction in these populations is inbreeding depression, which is primarily caused by recessive deleterious mutations becoming homozygous due to inbreeding. The typical approach for managing these…

On the use of the coefficient of variation to quantify and compare trait variation

Christophe Pélabon, Christoffer H. Hilde, Sigurd Einum et al. · 15 May 2020

Meaningful comparison of variation in quantitative trait requires controlling for both the dimension of the varying entity and the dimension of the factor generating variation. Although the coefficient of variation (CV; standard deviation divided by the mean) is often used to measure and compare variation of quantitative traits, it only accounts for the dimension of…

Interpreting differentiation landscapes in the light of long-term linked selection

Reto Burri · 27 Jul 2017

Abstract Identifying genomic regions underlying adaptation in extant lineages is key to understanding the trajectories along which biodiversity evolves. However, this task is complicated by evolutionary processes that obscure and mimic footprints of positive selection. Particularly, the long-term effects of linked selection remain underappreciated and difficult to account for. Based on patterns emerging from recent…

Comparative genomics of 10 new<i>Caenorhabditis</i>species

Lewis Stevens, Marie-Anne Félix, Toni Beltran et al. · 1 Apr 2019

Abstract The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been central to the understanding of metazoan biology. However, C. elegans is but one species among millions and the significance of this important model organism will only be fully revealed if it is placed in a rich evolutionary context. Global sampling efforts have led to the discovery of over…
