… melanogaster samples from orchards and vineyards often exceed 10 4 flies [74], [75] and
thousands of flies can easily be collected over large compost piles (Bergland pers. obs.). …

A major challenge in biology is to understand the genetic basis of adaptation. One compelling
idea is that groups of tightly linked genes (ie, "supergenes" [1, 2]) facilitate adaptation in …

Populations arrayed along broad latitudinal gradients often show patterns of clinal variation
in phenotype and genotype. Such population differentiation can be generated and …

Examples of clinal variation in phenotypes and genotypes across latitudinal transects have
served as important models for understanding how spatially varying selection and …

Most natural populations are affected by seasonal changes in temperature, rainfall, or resource
availability. Seasonally fluctuating selection could potentially make a large contribution …

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

The sequencing of pooled non-barcoded individuals is an inexpensive and efficient means
of assessing genome-wide population allele frequencies, yet its accuracy has not been …

Finding the specific nucleotides that underlie adaptive variation is a major goal in
evolutionary biology, but polygenic traits pose a challenge because the complex genotype–phenotype …

High-throughput pooled resequencing offers significant potential for whole genome population
sequencing. However, its main drawback is the loss of haplotype information. In order to …

Native to Asia, the soft-skinned fruit pest Drosophila suzukii has recently invaded the United
States and Europe. The eastern United States represents the most recent expansion of their …
