  text: "One of the most striking and consistent results in speciation genomics is
    the heterogeneous divergence observed across the genomes of closely related species.
    This pattern was initially attributed to different levels of gene exchange—with
    divergence preserved at loci generating a barrier to gene flow but homogenized
    at unlinked neutral loci. Although there is evidence to support this model, it
    is now recognized that interpreting patterns of divergence across genomes is not
    so straightforward. One \r\nproblem is that heterogenous divergence between populations
    can also be generated by other processes (e.g. recurrent selective sweeps or background
    selection) without any involvement of differential gene flow. Thus, integrated
    studies that identify which loci are likely subject to divergent selection are
    required to shed light on the interplay between selection and gene flow during
    the early phases of speciation. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Rifkin et
    al. (2019) confront this challenge using a pair of sister morning glory species.
    They wisely design their sampling to take the geographic context of individuals
    into account, including geographically isolated (allopatric) and co‐occurring
    (sympatric) populations. This enabled them to show that individuals are phenotypically
    less differentiated in sympatry. They also found that the loci that resist introgression
    are enriched for those most differentiated in allopatry and loci that exhibit
    signals of divergent selection. One great strength of the \r\nstudy is the combination
    of methods from population genetics and molecular evolution, including the development
    of a model to simultaneously infer admixture proportions and selfing rates."

  text: Fitness interactions between mutations can influence a population’s evolution
    in many different ways. While epistatic effects are difficult to measure precisely,
    important information is captured by the mean and variance of log fitnesses for
    individuals carrying different numbers of mutations. We derive predictions for
    these quantities from a class of simple fitness landscapes, based on models of
    optimizing selection on quantitative traits. We also explore extensions to the
    models, including modular pleiotropy, variable effect sizes, mutational bias and
    maladaptation of the wild type. We illustrate our approach by reanalysing a large
    dataset of mutant effects in a yeast snoRNA (small nucleolar RNA). Though characterized
    by some large epistatic effects, these data give a good overall fit to the non-epistatic
    null model, suggesting that epistasis might have limited influence on the evolutionary
    dynamics in this system. We also show how the amount of epistasis depends on both
    the underlying fitness landscape and the distribution of mutations, and so is
    expected to vary in consistent ways between new mutations, standing variation
    and fixed mutations.

  text: Genetic incompatibilities contribute to reproductive isolation between many
    diverging populations, but it is still unclear to what extent they play a role
    if divergence happens with gene flow. In contact zones between the "Crab" and
    "Wave" ecotypes of the snail Littorina saxatilis divergent selection forms strong
    barriers to gene flow, while the role of postzygotic barriers due to selection
    against hybrids remains unclear. High embryo abortion rates in this species could
    indicate the presence of such barriers. Postzygotic barriers might include genetic
    incompatibilities (e.g. Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities) but also maladaptation,
    both expected to be most pronounced in contact zones. In addition, embryo abortion
    might reflect physiological stress on females and embryos independent of any genetic
    stress. We examined all embryos of &gt;500 females sampled outside and inside
    contact zones of three populations in Sweden. Females' clutch size ranged from
    0 to 1011 embryos (mean 130±123) and abortion rates varied between 0 and100% (mean
    12%). We described female genotypes by using a hybrid index based on hundreds
    of SNPs differentiated between ecotypes with which we characterised female genotypes.
    We also calculated female SNP heterozygosity and inversion karyotype. Clutch size
    did not vary with female hybrid index and abortion rates were only weakly related
    to hybrid index in two sites but not at all in a third site. No additional variation
    in abortion rate was explained by female SNP heterozygosity, but increased female
    inversion heterozygosity added slightly to increased abortion. Our results show
    only weak and probably biologically insignificant postzygotic barriers contributing
    to ecotype divergence and the high and variable abortion rates were marginally,
    if at all, explained by hybrid index of females.

  text: This paper analyzes how partial selfing in a large source population influences
    its ability to colonize a new habitat via the introduction of a few founder individuals.
    Founders experience inbreeding depression due to partially recessive deleterious
    alleles as well as maladaptation to the new environment due to selection on a
    large number of additive loci. I first introduce a simplified version of the Inbreeding
    History Model (Kelly, 2007) in order to characterize mutation-selection balance
    in a large, partially selfing source population under selection involving multiple
    non-identical loci. I then use individual-based simulations to study the eco-evolutionary
    dynamics of founders establishing in the new habitat under a model of hard selection.
    The study explores how selfing rate shapes establishment probabilities of founders
    via effects on both inbreeding depression and adaptability to the new environment,
    and also distinguishes the effects of selfing on the initial fitness of founders
    from its effects on the long-term adaptive response of the populations they found.
    A high rate of (but not complete) selfing is found to aid establishment over a
    wide range of parameters, even in the absence of mate limitation. The sensitivity
    of the results to assumptions about the nature of polygenic selection are discussed.

    exists on animal sexual dimorphism but less is known about sex differences in
    plants, particularly the extent of geographical variation in sexual dimorphism
    and its life-cycle dynamics. Here, we investigate patterns of genetically-based
    sexual dimorphism in vegetative and reproductive traits of a wind-pollinated dioecious
    plant, Rumex hastatulus, across three life-cycle stages using open-pollinated
    families from 30 populations spanning the geographic range and chromosomal variation
    (XY and XY1Y2) of the species. The direction and degree of sexual dimorphism was
    highly variable among populations and life-cycle stages. Sex-specific differences
    in reproductive function explained a significant amount of temporal change in
    sexual dimorphism. For several traits, geographical variation in sexual dimorphism
    was associated with bioclimatic parameters, likely due to the differential responses
    of the sexes to climate. We found no systematic differences in sexual dimorphism
    between chromosome races. Sex-specific trait differences in dioecious plants largely
    result from a balance between sexual and natural selection on resource allocation.
    Our results indicate that abiotic factors associated with geographical context
    also play a role in modifying sexual dimorphism during the plant life cycle.

  text: Evolutionary studies are often limited by missing data that are critical to
    understanding the history of selection. Selection experiments, which reproduce
    rapid evolution under controlled conditions, are excellent tools to study how
    genomes evolve under selection. Here we present a genomic dissection of the Longshanks
    selection experiment, in which mice were selectively bred over 20 generations
    for longer tibiae relative to body mass, resulting in 13% longer tibiae in two
    replicates. We synthesized evolutionary theory, genome sequences and molecular
    genetics to understand the selection response and found that it involved both
    polygenic adaptation and discrete loci of major effect, with the strongest loci
    tending to be selected in parallel between replicates. We show that selection
    may favor de-repression of bone growth through inactivating two limb enhancers
    of an inhibitor, Nkx3-2. Our integrative genomic analyses thus show that it is
    possible to connect individual base-pair changes to the overall selection response.

  text: The spread of adaptive alleles is fundamental to evolution, and in theory,
    this process is well‐understood. However, only rarely can we follow this process—whether
    it originates from the spread of a new mutation, or by introgression from another
    population. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Hanemaaijer et al. (2018) report
    on a 25‐year long study of the mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae (Figure 1) and Anopheles
    coluzzi in Mali, based on genotypes at 15 single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).
    The species are usually reproductively isolated from each other, but in 2002 and
    2006, bursts of hybridization were observed, when F1 hybrids became abundant.
    Alleles backcrossed from A. gambiae into A. coluzzi, but after the first event,
    these declined over the following years. In contrast, after 2006, an insecticide
    resistance allele that had established in A. gambiae spread into A. coluzzi, and
    rose to high frequency there, over 6 years (~75 generations). Whole genome sequences
    of 74 individuals showed that A. gambiae SNP from across the genome had become
    common in the A. coluzzi population, but that most of these were clustered in
    34 genes around the resistance locus. A new set of SNP from 25 of these genes
    were assayed over time; over the 4 years since near‐fixation of the resistance
    allele; some remained common, whereas others declined. What do these patterns
    tell us about this introgression event?

  text: 'More than 100 years after Grigg’s influential analysis of species’ borders,
    the causes of limits to species’ ranges still represent a puzzle that has never
    been understood with clarity. The topic has become especially important recently
    as many scientists have become interested in the potential for species’ ranges
    to shift in response to climate change—and yet nearly all of those studies fail
    to recognise or incorporate evolutionary genetics in a way that relates to theoretical
    developments. I show that range margins can be understood based on just two measurable
    parameters: (i) the fitness cost of dispersal—a measure of environmental heterogeneity—and
    (ii) the strength of genetic drift, which reduces genetic diversity. Together,
    these two parameters define an ‘expansion threshold’: adaptation fails when genetic
    drift reduces genetic diversity below that required for adaptation to a heterogeneous
    environment. When the key parameters drop below this expansion threshold locally,
    a sharp range margin forms. When they drop below this threshold throughout the
    species’ range, adaptation collapses everywhere, resulting in either extinction
    or formation of a fragmented metapopulation. Because the effects of dispersal
    differ fundamentally with dimension, the second parameter—the strength of genetic
    drift—is qualitatively different compared to a linear habitat. In two-dimensional
    habitats, genetic drift becomes effectively independent of selection. It decreases
    with ‘neighbourhood size’—the number of individuals accessible by dispersal within
    one generation. Moreover, in contrast to earlier predictions, which neglected
    evolution of genetic variance and/or stochasticity in two dimensions, dispersal
    into small marginal populations aids adaptation. This is because the reduction
    of both genetic and demographic stochasticity has a stronger effect than the cost
    of dispersal through increased maladaptation. The expansion threshold thus provides
    a novel, theoretically justified, and testable prediction for formation of the
    range margin and collapse of the species’ range.'

  text: Adaptive introgression is common in nature and can be driven by selection
    acting on multiple, linked genes. We explore the effects of polygenic selection
    on introgression under the infinitesimal model with linkage. This model assumes
    that the introgressing block has an effectively infinite number of genes, each
    with an infinitesimal effect on the trait under selection. The block is assumed
    to introgress under directional selection within a native population that is genetically
    homogeneous. We use individual-based simulations and a branching process approximation
    to compute various statistics of the introgressing block, and explore how these
    depend on parameters such as the map length and initial trait value associated
    with the introgressing block, the genetic variability along the block, and the
    strength of selection. Our results show that the introgression dynamics of a block
    under infinitesimal selection is qualitatively different from the dynamics of
    neutral introgression. We also find that in the long run, surviving descendant
    blocks are likely to have intermediate lengths, and clarify how the length is
    shaped by the interplay between linkage and infinitesimal selection. Our results
    suggest that it may be difficult to distinguish introgression of single loci from
    that of genomic blocks with multiple, tightly linked and weakly selected loci.

    employ a Markov chain-based algorithm to explore plausible possible pedigrees
    iteratively. This provides accurate results, but is time-consuming. Here, we develop
    a method to infer sibship and paternity relationships from half-sibling arrays
    of known maternity using hierarchical clustering. Given 50 or more unlinked SNP
    markers and empirically derived error rates, the method performs as well as the
    widely used package Colony, but is faster by two orders of magnitude. Using simulations,
    we show that the method performs well across contrasting mating scenarios, even
    when samples are large. We then apply the method to open-pollinated arrays of
    the snapdragon Antirrhinum majus and find evidence for a high degree of multiple
    mating. Although we focus on diploid SNP data, the method does not depend on marker
    type and as such has broad applications in nonmodel systems. '

  text: 'More than 100 years after Grigg’s influential analysis of species’ borders,
    the causes of limits to species’ ranges still represent a puzzle that has never
    been understood with clarity. The topic has become especially important recently
    as many scientists have become interested in the potential for species’ ranges
    to shift in response to climate change—and yet nearly all of those studies fail
    to recognise or incorporate evolutionary genetics in a way that relates to theoretical
    developments. I show that range margins can be understood based on just two measurable
    parameters: (i) the fitness cost of dispersal—a measure of environmental heterogeneity—and
    (ii) the strength of genetic drift, which reduces genetic diversity. Together,
    these two parameters define an ‘expansion threshold’: adaptation fails when genetic
    drift reduces genetic diversity below that required for adaptation to a heterogeneous
    environment. When the key parameters drop below this expansion threshold locally,
    a sharp range margin forms. When they drop below this threshold throughout the
    species’ range, adaptation collapses everywhere, resulting in either extinction
    or formation of a fragmented metapopulation. Because the effects of dispersal
    differ fundamentally with dimension, the second parameter—the strength of genetic
    drift—is qualitatively different compared to a linear habitat. In two-dimensional
    habitats, genetic drift becomes effectively independent of selection. It decreases
    with ‘neighbourhood size’—the number of individuals accessible by dispersal within
    one generation. Moreover, in contrast to earlier predictions, which neglected
    evolution of genetic variance and/or stochasticity in two dimensions, dispersal
    into small marginal populations aids adaptation. This is because the reduction
    of both genetic and demographic stochasticity has a stronger effect than the cost
    of dispersal through increased maladaptation. The expansion threshold thus provides
    a novel, theoretically justified, and testable prediction for formation of the
    range margin and collapse of the species’ range.'

  text: 'Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetically based recognition system that
    functions to prevent self-fertilization and mating among related plants. An enduring
    puzzle in SI is how the high diversity observed in nature arises and is maintained.
    Based on the underlying recognition mechanism, SI can be classified into two main
    groups: self- and non-self recognition. Most work has focused on diversification
    within self-recognition systems despite expected differences between the two groups
    in the evolutionary pathways and outcomes of diversification. Here, we use a deterministic
    population genetic model and stochastic simulations to investigate how novel S-haplotypes
    evolve in a gametophytic non-self recognition (SRNase/S Locus F-box (SLF)) SI
    system. For this model the pathways for diversification involve either the maintenance
    or breakdown of SI and can vary in the order of mutations of the female (SRNase)
    and male (SLF) components. We show analytically that diversification can occur
    with high inbreeding depression and self-pollination, but this varies with evolutionary
    pathway and level of completeness (which determines the number of potential mating
    partners in the population), and in general is more likely for lower haplotype
    number. The conditions for diversification are broader in stochastic simulations
    of finite population size. However, the number of haplotypes observed under high
    inbreeding and moderate to high self-pollination is less than that commonly observed
    in nature. Diversification was observed through pathways that maintain SI as well
    as through self-compatible intermediates. Yet the lifespan of diversified haplotypes
    was sensitive to their level of completeness. By examining diversification in
    a non-self recognition SI system, this model extends our understanding of the
    evolution and maintenance of haplotype diversity observed in a self recognition
    system common in flowering plants.'

  text: Secondary contact is the reestablishment of gene flow between sister populations
    that have diverged. For instance, at the end of the Quaternary glaciations in
    Europe, secondary contact occurred during the northward expansion of the populations
    which had found refugia in the southern peninsulas. With the advent of multi-locus
    markers, secondary contact can be investigated using various molecular signatures
    including gradients of allele frequency, admixture clines, and local increase
    of genetic differentiation. We use coalescent simulations to investigate if molecular
    data provide enough information to distinguish between secondary contact following
    range expansion and an alternative evolutionary scenario consisting of a barrier
    to gene flow in an isolation-by-distance model. We find that an excess of linkage
    disequilibrium and of genetic diversity at the suture zone is a unique signature
    of secondary contact. We also find that the directionality index ψ, which was
    proposed to study range expansion, is informative to distinguish between the two
    hypotheses. However, although evidence for secondary contact is usually conveyed
    by statistics related to admixture coefficients, we find that they can be confounded
    by isolation-by-distance. We recommend to account for the spatial repartition
    of individuals when investigating secondary contact in order to better reflect
    the complex spatio-temporal evolution of populations and species.

  text: This thesis is concerned with the inference of current population structure
    based on geo-referenced genetic data. The underlying idea is that population structure
    affects its spatial genetic structure. Therefore, genotype information can be
    utilized to estimate important demographic parameters such as migration rates.
    These indirect estimates of population structure have become very attractive,
    as genotype data is now widely available. However, there also has been much concern
    about these approaches. Importantly, genetic structure can be influenced by many
    complex patterns, which often cannot be disentangled. Moreover, many methods merely
    fit heuristic patterns of genetic structure, and do not build upon population
    genetics theory. Here, I describe two novel inference methods that address these
    shortcomings. In Chapter 2, I introduce an inference scheme based on a new type
    of signal, identity by descent (IBD) blocks. Recently, it has become feasible
    to detect such long blocks of genome shared between pairs of samples. These blocks
    are direct traces of recent coalescence events. As such, they contain ample signal
    for inferring recent demography. I examine sharing of IBD blocks in two-dimensional
    populations with local migration. Using a diffusion approximation, I derive formulas
    for an isolation by distance pattern of long IBD blocks and show that sharing
    of long IBD blocks approaches rapid exponential decay for growing sample distance.
    I describe an inference scheme based on these results. It can robustly estimate
    the dispersal rate and population density, which is demonstrated on simulated
    data. I also show an application to estimate mean migration and the rate of recent
    population growth within Eastern Europe. Chapter 3 is about a novel method to
    estimate barriers to gene flow in a two dimensional population. This inference
    scheme utilizes geographically localized allele frequency fluctuations - a classical
    isolation by distance signal. The strength of these local fluctuations increases
    on average next to a barrier, and there is less correlation across it. I again
    use a framework of diffusion of ancestral lineages to model this effect, and provide
    an efficient numerical implementation to fit the results to geo-referenced biallelic
    SNP data. This inference scheme is able to robustly estimate strong barriers to
    gene flow, as tests on simulated data confirm.

  text: Escaping local optima is one of the major obstacles to function optimisation.
    Using the metaphor of a fitness landscape, local optima correspond to hills separated
    by fitness valleys that have to be overcome. We define a class of fitness valleys
    of tunable difficulty by considering their length, representing the Hamming path
    between the two optima and their depth, the drop in fitness. For this function
    class we present a runtime comparison between stochastic search algorithms using
    different search strategies. The (1+1) EA is a simple and well-studied evolutionary
    algorithm that has to jump across the valley to a point of higher fitness because
    it does not accept worsening moves (elitism). In contrast, the Metropolis algorithm
    and the Strong Selection Weak Mutation (SSWM) algorithm, a famous process in population
    genetics, are both able to cross the fitness valley by accepting worsening moves.
    We show that the runtime of the (1+1) EA depends critically on the length of the
    valley while the runtimes of the non-elitist algorithms depend crucially on the
    depth of the valley. Moreover, we show that both SSWM and Metropolis can also
    efficiently optimise a rugged function consisting of consecutive valleys.

  text: "In continuous populations with local migration, nearby pairs of individuals
    have on average more similar genotypes\r\nthan geographically well separated pairs.
    A barrier to gene flow distorts this classical pattern of isolation by distance.
    Genetic similarity is decreased for sample pairs on different sides of the barrier
    and increased for pairs on the same side near the barrier. Here, we introduce
    an inference scheme that utilizes this signal to detect and estimate the strength
    of a linear barrier to gene flow in two-dimensions. We use a diffusion approximation
    to model the effects of a barrier on the geographical spread of ancestry backwards
    in time. This approach allows us to calculate the chance of recent coalescence
    and probability of identity by descent. We introduce an inference scheme that
    fits these theoretical results to the geographical covariance structure of bialleleic
    genetic markers. It can estimate the strength of the barrier as well as several
    demographic parameters. We investigate the power of our inference scheme to detect
    barriers by applying it to a wide range of simulated data. We also showcase an
    example application to a Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon) flower color hybrid zone,
    where we do not detect any signal of a strong genome wide barrier to gene flow."

  text: "Maladapted individuals can only colonise a new habitat if they can evolve
    a\r\npositive growth rate fast enough to avoid extinction, a process known as
    evolutionary\r\nrescue. We treat log fitness at low density in the new habitat
    as a\r\nsingle polygenic trait and thus use the infinitesimal model to follow
    the evolution\r\nof the growth rate; this assumes that the trait values of offspring
    of a\r\nsexual union are normally distributed around the mean of the parents’
    trait\r\nvalues, with variance that depends only on the parents’ relatedness.
    The\r\nprobability that a single migrant can establish depends on just two parameters:\r\nthe
    mean and genetic variance of the trait in the source population.\r\nThe chance
    of success becomes small if migrants come from a population\r\nwith mean growth
    rate in the new habitat more than a few standard deviations\r\nbelow zero; this
    chance depends roughly equally on the probability\r\nthat the initial founder
    is unusually fit, and on the subsequent increase in\r\ngrowth rate of its offspring
    as a result of selection. The loss of genetic variation\r\nduring the founding
    event is substantial, but highly variable. With\r\ncontinued migration at rate
    M, establishment is inevitable; when migration\r\nis rare, the expected time to
    establishment decreases inversely with M.\r\nHowever, above a threshold migration
    rate, the population may be trapped\r\nin a ‘sink’ state, in which adaptation
    is held back by gene flow; above this\r\nthreshold, the expected time to establishment
    increases exponentially with M. This threshold behaviour is captured by a deterministic
    approximation,\r\nwhich assumes a Gaussian distribution of the trait in the founder
    population\r\nwith mean and variance evolving deterministically. By assuming a
    constant\r\ngenetic variance, we also develop a diffusion approximation for the
    joint distribution\r\nof population size and trait mean, which extends to include
    stabilising\r\nselection and density regulation. Divergence of the population
    from its\r\nancestors causes partial reproductive isolation, which we measure
    through\r\nthe reproductive value of migrants into the newly established population."

  text: 'We re-examine the model of Kirkpatrick and Barton for the spread of an inversion
    into a local population. This model assumes that local selection maintains alleles
    at two or more loci, despite immigration of alternative alleles at these loci
    from another population. We show that an inversion is favored because it prevents
    the breakdown of linkage disequilibrium generated by migration; the selective
    advantage of an inversion is proportional to the amount of recombination between
    the loci involved, as in other cases where inversions are selected for. We derive
    expressions for the rate of spread of an inversion; when the loci covered by the
    inversion are tightly linked, these conditions deviate substantially from those
    proposed previously, and imply that an inversion can then have only a small advantage. '
