Genome-wide SNP data reveal recent population structure of Huidobria fruticosa (Loasaceae), a paleo-endemic lineage from the Atacama Desert

The paper uses SNP data from Huidobria fruticosa to show recent population structure shaped by climate change over the last 2 million years in the Atacama Desert.

Detecting adaptive changes in gene copy number distribution accompanying the human out-of-Africa expansion

The paper investigates whether gene copy number distribution changes in European and Asian populations during the human out-of-Africa expansion are due to demographic factors or adaptive selection.

Recombination, selection and the evolution of tandem gene arrays

The paper models the evolution of tandem gene arrays under recombination and selection, showing how copy number distribution and fitness depend on these factors and demographic parameters.

A discrete approach to the external branches of a Kingman coalescent tree. Theoretical results and practical applications

The paper analyzes the lengths of external branches in Yule-distributed coalescent trees and applies the findings to mutation counts in natural populations.

Signatures of the evolution of parthenogenesis and cryptobiosis in panagrolaimid nematodes

This study compares genomes and transcriptomes of parthenogenetic and cryptobiotic nematodes to identify genomic features linked to these traits.

Topological linkage disequilibrium calculated from coalescent genealogies

The paper introduces topological LD (tLD) as a new measure of linkage disequilibrium based on coalescent genealogies, showing it decays more slowly and has lower variability than conventional LD.
