This study derives the growth rate, establishment probability, and total establishment rate of chromosomal inversions along environmental gradients using analytical theory and stochastic simulations.

The paper quantifies recombination landscape divergence across percomorph fish species using PRDI and finds divergence increases with genetic differentiation and divergence time, with variation among species pairs.

This study examines how hybrid incompatibilities and overdominant mutations interact in a hybrid population model, showing that recombination and selection shape genetic composition and neutral variation.

The paper identifies a recombination event within a non-recombining sex chromosome in blackspotted sticklebacks, challenging the notion that recombination suppression is irreversible.

This study identifies genetic local adaptation in roe deer gut microbiota across different gut compartments, showing that nutrient availability and horizontal gene transfer drive species-specific adaptation.

The paper models how deleterious mutations affect genomic diversity during population bottlenecks and range expansions, finding that dominance levels influence diversity preservation and trough formation.

This study extends the fitness-class coalescent model to account for arbitrary levels of purifying selection, revealing biases in demographic inference caused by selection.

Scoary2 rapidly associates phenotypic multi-omics data with microbial pan-genomes to identify genes affecting specific metabolic traits.

This study uses simulations to show that selfing rate can increase or decrease genetic load depending on recombination and mutation interactions, with a threshold selfing rate preventing pseudo-overdominance.

The paper investigates how gene flow affects evolutionary rescue in spatially structured populations, showing that intermediate gene flow rates are optimal for survival in deteriorating habitats.

This study shows artificial selection can counteract the negative effects of bacterial range expansion by increasing expansion speed through loss of function mutations.

The paper examines genomic diversity in French Canadians to show that range expansion led to relaxed selection, increasing the frequency of deleterious mutations in colonizing populations.

The paper examines genetic surfing in human populations, showing an increase in recessive mutation load with distance from Africa during human expansion.

The paper examines how distance from Sub-Saharan Africa correlates with mutational load in diverse human populations, finding that populations further from Africa have higher mutation loads due to recessive mutations.

This study investigates expansion load in recessive mutations during population expansions, finding that mean fitness drops faster and mutation load can increase despite constant mutation numbers.
