• Opposing health effects of hybridization for conservation 

  Klemme, Ines; Hendrikx, Lysanne; Ashrafi, Roghaieh; Sundberg, Lotta‐Riina; Räihä, Ville; Piironen, Jorma; Hyvärinen, Pekka; Karvonen, Anssi (Wiley, 2021)

  The continuing decline of many natural plant and animal populations emphasizes the importance of conservation strategies. Hybridization as a management tool has proven successful in introducing gene flow to small, inbred ...

• Viability selection creates negative heterozygosity-fitness correlations in female Black Grouse Lyrurus tetrix 

  Soulsbury, Carl; Lebigre, Christophe (Springer, 2018)

  There is widespread interest in the relationship between individual genetic diversity and fitness–related traits (heterozygosity–fitness correlations; HFCs). Most studies have found weak continuous increases of fitness with ...

• Cold adaptation drives population genomic divergence in the ecological specialist, Drosophila montana 

  Wiberg, R. A. W.; Tyukmaeva, V.; Hoikkala, A.; Ritchie, M. G.; Kankare, M. (Wiley, 2021)

  Detecting signatures of ecological adaptation in comparative genomics is challenging, but analysing population samples with characterised geographic distributions, such as clinal variation, can help identify genes showing ...

• Mitochondrial DNA variation of Drosophila obscura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) across Europe 

  Erić, Pavle; Stamenković-Rasak, Marina; Dragićević, Milan; Kankare, Maaria; Wallace, Megan A.; Savić Veselinović, Marija; Jelić, Mihailo (Institute of Entomology, 2022)

  Drosophila obscura is a common fruit fly that inhabits the temperate forests of Europe. While it is abundant in the north compared to other Drosophila, its density decreases southwards, where it is gradually replaced by ...

• Genomic analysis of European Drosophila melanogaster populations reveals longitudinal structure, continent-wide selection, and previously unknown DNA viruses 

  Kapun, Martin; Barrón, Maite G.; Staubach, Fabian; Obbard, Darren J.; Wiberg, R. Axel W.; Vieira, Jorge; Goubert, Clément; Rota-Stabelli, Omar; Kankare, Maaria; Bogaerts-Márquez, María; Haudry, Annabelle; Waidele, Lena; Kozeretska, Iryna; Pasyukova, Elena G.; Loeschcke, Volker; Pascual, Marta; Vieira, Cristina P.; Serga, Svitlana; Montchamp-Moreau, Catherine; Abbott, Jessica; Gibert, Patricia; Porcelli, Damiano; Posnien, Nico; Sánchez-Gracia, Alejandro; Grath, Sonja; Sucena, Élio; Bergland, Alan O.; Guerreiro, Maria Pilar Garcia; Onder, Banu Sebnem; Argyridou, Eliza; Guio, Lain; Schou, Mads Fristrup; Deplancke, Bart; Vieira, Cristina; Ritchie, Michael G.; Zwaan, Bas J.; Tauber, Eran; Orengo, Dorcas J.; Puerma, Eva; Aguadé, Montserrat; Schmidt, Paul S.; Parsch, John; Betancourt, Andrea J.; Flatt, Thomas; González, Josefa (Oxford University Press, 2020)

  Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatio-temporal patterns of genetic variation in natural ...
