Evolution of mutational fitness effects in island populations

The paper investigates how environmental changes on islands affect the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) in Peromyscus mice populations.

The genomic imprint of chromosomal inversions and demographic history in island populations of deer mice

This study examines chromosomal inversions and demographic history in deer mice populations across islands and mainland, finding shared balancing selection and ancient divergence.

Population Genomics of Giant Mice from the Faroe Islands: Hybridization, Colonization, and a Novel Challenge to Identifying Genomic Targets of Selection

This study uses population genomic data to trace the evolutionary history of giant mice on the Faroe Islands, revealing hybrid origins, Viking-era colonization, and challenges in identifying genes under selection.

Population history across timescales in an urban archipelago

The paper uses genomic data from white-footed mice to reconstruct population history, finding both ancient geological influences and recent human-driven changes.

Genomic analysis reveals geography rather than culture as the predominant factor shaping genetic variation in northern Kenyan human populations

This study shows that geography, not culture, mainly influences genetic variation among northern Kenyan populations.
