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.

This study shows that admixture in Lycaeides butterflies leads to distinct evolutionary histories across chromosomes, with the Z chromosome showing more tree-like patterns than autosomes.

This study uses population genomics to analyze karst-obligate salamanders, revealing extensive admixture and recent divergence through aquifers.

The paper shows that additive genetic effects from both plants and caterpillars determine the outcome of herbivory on alfalfa, with plant phytochemicals playing a key role.

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.
