Competition and coevolution drive the evolution and the diversification of CRISPR immunity
The diversity of resistance challenges the ability of pathogens to spread and to exploit host populations. Yet, how this host diversity evolves over time remains unclear because it depends on the interplay bet...

Open AccessVariation of the adaptive substitution rate between species and within genomes
The importance of adaptive mutations in molecular evolution is extensively debated. Recent developments in population genomics allow inferring rates of adaptive mutations by fitting a distribution of fitness e...

The fitness landscape of the codon space across environments
Fitness landscapes map the relationship between genotypes and fitness. However, most fitness landscape studies ignore the genetic architecture imposed by the codon table and thereby neglect the potential role ...

Joint impact of competition, summer precipitation, and maternal effects on survival and reproduction in the perennial Hieracium umbellatum
Most studies on consequences of environmental change focus on evolutionary and phenotypic plastic responses, but parental effects represent an additional mechanism by which organisms respond to their local env...

Open AccessHeterogeneity in effective population size and its implications in conservation genetics and animal breeding
Effective population size (N e ) is defined as the size of an idealized population undergoing the same rate of genetic drift as the population under stu...

Estimation of spontaneous genome-wide mutation rate parameters: whither beneficial mutations?
Empirical estimates of genome-wide mutation rates and of the distribution of mutational effects are needed to illuminate various topics ranging from evolutionary biology to conservation. Methods for inferring ...
