Unmasking the large and highly repetitive genome of Phlox reveals a complex evolutionary history of speciation with gene flow

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies and population genetic data for three Phlox species, revealing extensive genetic variation and widespread gene flow during speciation.

Genomic forecasts of maladptation in Lycaeides butterflies

This study estimates genomic offsets in Lycaeides butterflies to predict maladaptation under past, present, and future climates, finding that genetic diversity and gene flow influence adaptation potential.

Population genomic evidence of selection on structural variants in a natural hybrid zone

The paper examines structural variants in a butterfly hybrid zone, finding that deletions and Z-linked SVs show stronger introgression patterns, suggesting their role in reproductive isolation.
