Ecology and Evolution, 2023 An important objective of evolutionary biology has always been to grasp the evolutionary and genetic processes that contribute to speciation. The present work provides the first detailed account of the genetic and physiological adaptation to changing ...

Sex-biased gene regulation varies across human populations as a result of adaptive evolution
bioRxiv, 2023 Human males and females exhibit a wide range of diversity in biology and behavior. However, studies of sexual dimorphism and gender disparities in health generally emphasize ostensibly universal molecular sex differences, such as sex chromosomes and ...

When will a changing climate outpace adaptive evolution?
WIREs Climate Change, 2023 Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore stands ready to take what it has learned about influences upon the rate of ...

Modeling Recombination Rate as a Quantitative Trait Reveals New Insight into Selection in Humans
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2023 Meiotic recombination is both a fundamental biological process required for proper chromosomal segregation during meiosis and an important genomic parameter that shapes major features of the genomic landscape.

Molecular biology and evolution, 2023 Understanding the evolutionary factors that impact the genetic architecture of traits is a central goal of evolutionary genetics. Here, we investigate how quantitative trait variation accumulated over time in populations that colonized a novel ...

Evolvability: A Quantitative-Genetics Perspective
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2021 The concept of evolvability emerged in the early 1990s and soon became fashionable as a label for different streams of research in evolutionary biology.

Advancing Antimicrobial Resistance Research Through Quantitative Modeling and Synthetic Biology
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an emerging global health crisis that is undermining advances in modern medicine and, if unmitigated, threatens to kill 10 million people per year worldwide by 2050.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Cell morphology is an essential and phenotypic trait that can be easily tracked during adaptation and evolution to environmental changes. Thanks to the rapid development of quantitative analytical techniques for large populations of cells based on their ...

Local Adaptation and the Evolution of Genome Architecture in Threespine Stickleback
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2022 Theory predicts that local adaptation should favor the evolution of a concentrated genetic architecture, where the alleles driving adaptive divergence are tightly clustered on chromosomes. Adaptation to marine versus freshwater environments in threespine

Predicting evolution in experimental range expansions of an aquatic model system
bioRxiv, 2022 Predicting range expansion dynamics is a challenge for both fundamental and applied research in conservation and global change biology. However, if ecological and evolutionary processes occur on the same time scale, predictions are challenging to make ...
