While some thrive in uniform (homogeneous) landscapes where environmental conditions stay relatively consistent across space, others traverse the complexities of spatially heterogeneous terrains. Comprehending how species are distributed and how they interact within these landscapes holds the key to gaining insights into their evolutionary dynamics while also informing conservation and management strategies.\r\n\r\nFor species inhabiting heterogeneous landscapes, when the rate of dispersal is low compared to spatial fluctuations in selection pressure, localized adaptations may emerge. Such adaptation in response to varying selection strengths plays an important role in the persistence of populations in our rapidly changing world. Hence, species in nature are continuously in a struggle to adapt to local environmental conditions, to ensure their continued survival. Natural populations can often adapt in time scales short enough for evolutionary changes to influence ecological dynamics and vice versa, thereby creating a feedback between evolution and demography. The analysis of this feedback and the relative contributions of gene flow, demography, drift, and natural selection to genetic variation and differentiation has remained a recurring theme in evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, the effective role of these forces in maintaining variation and shaping patterns of diversity is not fully understood. Even in homogeneous environments devoid of local adaptations, such understanding remains elusive. Understanding this feedback is crucial, for example in determining the conditions under which extinction risk can be mitigated in peripheral populations subject to deleterious mutation accumulation at the edges of species’ ranges\r\nas well as in highly fragmented populations.\r\n\r\nIn this thesis we explore both uniform and spatially heterogeneous metapopulations, investigating and providing theoretical insights into the dynamics of local adaptation in the latter and examining the dynamics of load and extinction as well as the impact of joint ecological and evolutionary (eco-evolutionary) dynamics in the former. The thesis is divided into 5 chapters.\r\n\r\nChapter 1 provides a general introduction into the subject matter, clarifying concepts and ideas used throughout the thesis. In chapter 2, we explore how fast a species distributed across a heterogeneous landscape adapts to changing conditions marked by alterations in carrying capacity, selection pressure, and migration rate.\r\n\r\nIn chapter 3, we investigate how migration selection and drift influences adaptation and the maintenance of variation in a metapopulation with three habitats, an extension of previous models of adaptation in two habitats. We further develop analytical approximations for the critical threshold required for polymorphism to persist.\r\n\r\nThe focus of chapter 4 of the thesis is on understanding the interplay between ecology and evolution as coupled processes. We investigate how eco-evolutionary feedback between migration, selection, drift, and demography influences eco-evolutionary outcomes in marginal populations subject to deleterious mutation accumulation. Using simulations as well as theoretical approximations of the coupled dynamics of population size and allele frequency, we analyze how gene flow from a large mainland source influences genetic load and population size on an island (i.e., in a marginal population) under genetically realistic assumptions. Analyses of this sort are important because small isolated populations, are repeatedly affected by complex interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes, which can lead to their death. Understanding these interactions can therefore provide an insight into the conditions under which extinction risk can be mitigated in peripheral populations thus, contributing to conservation and restoration efforts.\r\n\r\nChapter 5 extends the analysis in chapter 4 to consider the dynamics of load (due to deleterious mutation accumulation) and extinction risk in a metapopulation. We explore the role of gene flow, selection, and dominance on load and extinction risk and further pinpoint critical thresholds required for metapopulation persistence.\r\n\r\nOverall this research contributes to our understanding of ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that shape species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes, a crucial foundation for successful conservation efforts and biodiversity management." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Oluwafunmilola O full_name: Olusanya, Oluwafunmilola O id: 41AD96DC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Olusanya orcid: 0000-0003-1971-8314 date_created: 2023-12-26T22:49:53Z date_published: 2024-01-19T00:00:00Z date_updated: 2025-05-26T09:05:10Z day: '19' ddc: - '576' degree_awarded: MS department: - _id: NiBa - _id: GradSch doi: 10.15479/at:ista:14711 ec_funded: 1 file: - access_level: closed checksum: de179b1c6758f182ff0c70d8b38c1501 content_type: application/zip creator: oolusany date_created: 2024-01-03T18:30:13Z date_updated: 2024-01-03T18:30:13Z file_id: '14730' file_name: FinalSubmission_Thesis_OLUSANYA.zip file_size: 16986244 relation: source_file - access_level: open_access checksum: 0e331585e3cd4823320aab4e69e64ccf content_type: application/pdf creator: oolusany date_created: 2024-01-03T18:31:34Z date_updated: 2024-01-03T18:31:34Z file_id: '14731' file_name: FinalSubmission2_Thesis_OLUSANYA.pdf file_size: 6460403 relation: main_file success: 1 file_date_updated: 2024-01-03T18:31:34Z has_accepted_license: '1' language: - iso: eng month: '01' oa: 1 oa_version: Published Version page: '183' project: - _id: 2564DBCA-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425 call_identifier: H2020 grant_number: '665385' name: International IST Doctoral Program - _id: c08d3278-5a5b-11eb-8a69-fdb09b55f4b8 grant_number: P32896 name: Causes and consequences of population fragmentation - _id: 34c872fe-11ca-11ed-8bc3-8534b82131e6 grant_number: '26380' name: Polygenic Adaptation in a Metapopulation publication_identifier: issn: - 2663 - 337X publication_status: published publisher: Institute of Science and Technology Austria related_material: record: - id: '10658' relation: part_of_dissertation status: public - id: '10787' relation: part_of_dissertation status: public - id: '14732' relation: part_of_dissertation status: public status: public supervisor: - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Barton, Nicholas H id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 - first_name: Jitka full_name: Polechova, Jitka last_name: Polechova - first_name: Himani full_name: Sachdeva, Himani last_name: Sachdeva title: Local adaptation, genetic load and extinction in metapopulations tmp: image: /images/cc_by_nc_sa.png legal_code_url: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode name: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) short: CC BY-NC-SA (4.0) type: dissertation user_id: 2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 year: '2024' ... --- _id: '14850' abstract: - lang: eng text: Elaborate sexual signals are thought to have evolved and be maintained to serve as honest indicators of signaller quality. One measure of quality is health, which can be affected by parasite infection. Cnemaspis mysoriensis is a diurnal gecko that is often infested with ectoparasites in the wild, and males of this species express visual (coloured gular patches) and chemical (femoral gland secretions) traits that receivers could assess during social interactions. In this paper, we tested whether ectoparasites affect individual health, and whether signal quality is an indicator of ectoparasite levels. In wild lizards, we found that ectoparasite level was negatively correlated with body condition in both sexes. Moreover, some characteristics of both visual and chemical traits in males were strongly associated with ectoparasite levels. Specifically, males with higher ectoparasite levels had yellow gular patches with lower brightness and chroma, and chemical secretions with a lower proportion of aromatic compounds. We then determined whether ectoparasite levels in males influence female behaviour. Using sequential choice trials, wherein females were provided with either the visual or the chemical signals of wild-caught males that varied in ectoparasite level, we found that only chemical secretions evoked an elevated female response towards less parasitised males. Simultaneous choice trials in which females were exposed to the chemical secretions from males that varied in parasite level further confirmed a preference for males with lower parasites loads. Overall, we find that although health (body condition) or ectoparasite load can be honestly advertised through multiple modalities, the parasite-mediated female response is exclusively driven by chemical signals. acknowledgement: "We thank Anuradha Batabyal and Shakilur Kabir for scientific discussions, and help with sampling and colour analyses.

We formalize such beliefs as maximum-entropy Bayesian priors, constrained by the expected utility. We explore how such priors aid inference of system parameters with limited data and enable optimality hypothesis testing: is the utility higher than by chance?\r\nChapter 3 examines the ultimate biological optimization process: evolution by natural selection. As some individuals survive and reproduce more successfully than others, populations evolve towards fitter genotypes and phenotypes. We formalize this as accumulation of genetic information, and use population genetics theory to study how much such information can be accumulated per generation and maintained in the face of random mutation and genetic drift. We identify the population size and fitness variance as the key quantities that control information accumulation and maintenance.\r\nChapter 4 reuses the concept of genetic information from Chapter 3, but from a different perspective: we ask how much genetic information organisms actually need, in particular in the context of gene regulation. For example, how much information is needed to bind transcription factors at correct locations within the genome? Population genetics provides us with a refined answer: with an increasing population size, populations achieve higher fitness by maintaining more genetic information. Moreover, regulatory parameters experience selection pressure to optimize the fitness-information trade-off, i.e. minimize the information needed for a given fitness. This provides an evolutionary derivation of the optimization priors introduced in Chapter 2.\r\nChapter 5 proves an upper bound on mutual information between a signal and a communication channel output (such as neural activity). Mutual information is an important utility measure for biological systems, but its practical use can be difficult due to the large dimensionality of many biological channels. Sometimes, a lower bound on mutual information is computed by replacing the high-dimensional channel outputs with decodes (signal estimates). Our result provides a corresponding upper bound, provided that the decodes are the maximum posterior estimates of the signal." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Michal full_name: Hledik, Michal id: 4171253A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hledik citation: ama: Hledik M.

High species diversity in the sea was regarded as a paradox when strict allopatry was considered necessary for most speciation events because geographical barriers seemed largely absent in the sea, and many marine species have high dispersal capacities. Combining genome-wide data with demographic modelling to infer the demographic history of divergence has introduced new ways to address this classical issue. These models assume an ancestral population that splits into two subpopulations diverging according to different scenarios that allow tests for periods of gene flow. Models can also test for heterogeneities in population sizes and migration rates along the genome to account, respectively, for background selection and selection against introgressed ancestry. To investigate how barriers to gene flow arise in the sea, we compiled studies modelling the demographic history of divergence in marine organisms and extracted preferred demographic scenarios together with estimates of demographic parameters. These studies show that geographical barriers to gene flow do exist in the sea but that divergence can also occur without strict isolation. Heterogeneity of gene flow was detected in most population pairs suggesting the predominance of semipermeable barriers during divergence. We found a weak positive relationship between the fraction of the genome experiencing reduced gene flow and levels of genome-wide differentiation. Furthermore, we found that the upper bound of the ‘grey zone of speciation’ for our dataset extended beyond that found before, implying that gene flow between diverging taxa is possible at higher levels of divergence than previously thought. Finally, we list recommendations for further strengthening the use of demographic modelling in speciation research. These include a more balanced representation of taxa, more consistent and comprehensive modelling, clear reporting of results and simulation studies to rule out nonbiological explanations for general results. acknowledgement: 'We greatly thank all the corresponding authors of the studies that were included in our synthesis for the sharing of additional data: Thomas Broquet, Dmitry Filatov, Quentin Rougemont, Paolo Momigliano, Pierre-Alexandre Gagnaire, Carlos Prada, Ahmed Souissi, Michael Møller Hansen, Sylvie Lapègue, Joseph Di Battista, Michael Hellberg and Carlos Prada.

In this model, a quantitative trait is expressed as the sum of a genetic and an environmental component, and the genetic component of offspring traits within a family follows a normal distribution around the average of the parents’ trait values, and has a variance that is independent of the parental traits. In previous work, we showed that when trait values are determined by the sum of a large number of additive Mendelian factors, each of small effect, one can justify the infinitesimal model as a limit of Mendelian inheritance. In this paper, we show that this result extends to include dominance. We define the model in terms of classical quantities of quantitative genetics, before justifying it as a limit of Mendelian inheritance as the number, M, of underlying loci tends to infinity. As in the additive case, the multivariate normal distribution of trait values across the pedigree can be expressed in terms of variance components in an ancestral population and probabilities of identity by descent determined by the pedigree. Now, with just first-order dominance effects, we require two-, three-, and four-way identities. We also show that, even if we condition on parental trait values, the “shared” and “residual” components of trait values within each family will be asymptotically normally distributed as the number of loci tends to infinity, with an error of order 1/M−−√⁠. We illustrate our results with some numerical examples. acknowledgement: NHB was supported in part by ERC Grants 250152 and 101055327.

Genes influencing adaptive traits cluster in inversions, and changes in inversion frequencies are associated with environmental differences. However, in many organisms, it is unclear if inversions are geographically and taxonomically widespread. The intertidal snail, Littorina saxatilis, is one such example. Strong associations between putative polymorphic inversions and phenotypic differences have been demonstrated between two ecotypes of L. saxatilis in Sweden and inferred elsewhere, but no direct evidence for inversion polymorphism currently exists across the species range. Using whole genome data from 107 snails, most inversion polymorphisms were found to be widespread across the species range. The frequencies of some inversion arrangements were significantly different among ecotypes, suggesting a parallel adaptive role. Many inversions were also polymorphic in the sister species, L. arcana, hinting at an ancient origin. acknowledgement: We would like to thank members of the Littorina team for their advice and feedback during this project.

The amount of variability within a system is thought to influence most aspects of plant-herbivore biology, from ecological stability to plant defense evolution. Our understanding of what influences variability, however, is limited by sparse data. We collected standardized surveys of herbivory for 503 plant species at 790 sites across 116° of latitude. With these data, we show that within-population variability in herbivory increases with latitude, decreases with plant size, and is phylogenetically structured. Differences in the magnitude of variability are thus central to how plant-herbivore biology varies across macroscale gradients. We argue that increased focus on interaction variability will advance understanding of patterns of life on Earth. acknowledgement: The authors acknowledge funding for central project coordination from NSF Research Coordination Network grant DEB-2203582; the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior Program at Michigan State University; and AgBioResearch at Michigan State University.

They play a major role in adaptation, as well as in other evolutionary processes such as speciation. Although inversions have been studied since the 1920s, they remain difficult to investigate because the reduced recombination conferred by them strengthens the effects of drift and hitchhiking, which in turn can obscure signatures of selection. Nonetheless, numerous inversions have been found to be under selection. Given recent advances in population genetic theory and empirical study, here we review how different mechanisms of selection affect the evolution of inversions. A key difference between inversions and other mutations, such as single nucleotide variants, is that the fitness of an inversion may be affected by a larger number of frequently interacting processes. This considerably complicates the analysis of the causes underlying the evolution of inversions. We discuss the extent to which these mechanisms can be disentangled, and by which approach. acknowledgement: 'We are grateful to two referees and Luke Holman for valuable comments on a previous version of our manuscript.

Reviews of natural plant populations have supported this theory, with SI species generally showing high levels of ID. However, there is thought to be an under-sampling of self-incompatible taxa in the current literature. In this thesis, I study inbreeding depression in the SI plant species Antirrhinum majus using both greenhouse crosses and a large collected field dataset. Additionally, the gametophytic S-locus of A. majus is highly heterozygous and polymorphic, thus making assembly and discovery of S-alleles very difficult. Here, 206 new alleles of the male component SLFs are presented, along with a phylogeny showing the high conservation with alleles from another Antirrhinum species. Lastly, selected sites within the protein structure of SLFs are investigated, with one site in particular highlighted as potentially being involved in the SI recognition mechanism.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Louise S full_name: Arathoon, Louise S id: 2CFCFF98-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Arathoon orcid: 0000-0003-1771-714X citation: ama: Arathoon LS.

This paper explores the intricate interplay between genetic load and extinction risk within metapopulations with a focus on understanding the impact of eco-evolutionary feedback mechanisms. We distinguish between two models of selection: soft selection, characterised by subpopulations maintaining carrying capacity despite load, and hard selection, where load can significantly affect population size. Within the soft selection framework, we investigate the impact of gene flow on genetic load at a single locus, while also considering the effect of selection strength and dominance coefficient. We subsequently build on this to examine how gene flow influences both population size and load under hard selection as well as identify critical thresholds for metapopulation persistence. Our analysis employs the diffusion, semi-deterministic and effective migration approximations. Our findings reveal that under soft selection, even modest levels of migration can significantly alleviate the burden of load. In sharp contrast, with hard selection, a much higher degree of gene flow is required to mitigate load and prevent the collapse of the metapopulation. Overall, this study sheds light into the crucial role migration plays in shaping the dynamics of genetic load and extinction risk in fragmented landscapes, offering valuable insights for conservation strategies and the preservation of diversity in a changing world.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Oluwafunmilola O full_name: Olusanya, Oluwafunmilola O id: 41AD96DC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Olusanya orcid: 0000-0003-1971-8314 - first_name: Kseniia full_name: Khudiakova, Kseniia id: 4E6DC800-AE37-11E9-AC72-31CAE5697425 last_name: Khudiakova orcid: 0000-0002-6246-1465 - first_name: Himani full_name: Sachdeva, Himani id: 42377A0A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sachdeva citation: ama: Olusanya OO, Khudiakova K, Sachdeva H.

Although the role of CRs in eukaryotic speciation at\r\na macroevolutionary level has been supported by associations between species diversity and\r\nrates of evolution of CRs across phylogenies, these findings are limited to a restricted range of\r\nCRs and taxa. Now that more broadly applicable and precise CR detection approaches have\r\nbecome available, we address the challenges in filling some of the conceptual and empirical\r\ngaps between micro- and macroevolutionary studies on the role of CRs in speciation.

In several systems, large‐effect loci contributing to barrier phenotypes have been characterized, but such causal connections are rarely known for more complex genetic architectures. In this study, we combine “top‐down” and “bottom‐up” approaches with demographic modelling toward an integrated understanding of speciation across a monkeyflower hybrid zone. Previous work suggests that pollinator visitation acts as a primary barrier to gene flow between two divergent red‐ and yellow‐flowered ecotypes ofMimulus aurantiacus. Several candidate isolating traits and anonymous single nucleotide polymorphism loci under divergent selection have been identified, but their genomic positions remain unknown. Here, we report findings from demographic analyses that indicate this hybrid zone formed by secondary contact, but that subsequent gene flow was restricted by widespread barrier loci across the genome. Using a novel, geographic cline‐based genome scan, we demonstrate that candidate barrier loci are broadly distributed across the genome, rather than mapping to one or a few “islands of speciation.” Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping reveals that most floral traits are highly polygenic, with little evidence that QTL colocalize, indicating that most traits are genetically independent. Finally, we find little evidence that QTL and candidate barrier loci overlap, suggesting that some loci contribute to other forms of reproductive isolation. Our findings highlight the challenges of understanding the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation and reveal that barriers to gene flow other than pollinator isolation may play an important role in this system. acknowledgement: We thank Julian Catchen for making modifications to Stacks to aid this project.

The recent inclusion of genomic data into phylogeographic studies has dramatically improved our understanding in organisms where evolutionary relationships have been challenging to infer. We used whole-genome sequences to study the phylogeography of the intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis, which has successfully colonized and diversified across a broad range of coastal environments in the Northern Hemisphere amid repeated cycles of glaciation. Building on past studies based on short DNA sequences, we used genome-wide data to provide a clearer picture of the relationships among samples spanning most of the species natural range. Our results confirm the trans-Atlantic colonization of North America from Europe, and have allowed us to identify rough locations of glacial refugia and to infer likely routes of colonization within Europe. We also investigated the signals in different datasets to account for the effects of genomic architecture and non-neutral evolution, which provides new insights about diversification of four ecotypes of L. saxatilis (the crab, wave, barnacle, and brackish ecotypes) at different spatial scales. Overall, we provide a much clearer picture of the biogeography of L. saxatilis, providing a foundation for more detailed phylogenomic and demographic studies. acknowledgement: Isobel Eyres, Richard Turney, Graciela Sotelo, Jenny Larson, and Stéphane Loisel helped with the collection and processing of samples.

This often translates into a\r\nintricate array of sex-specific natural and sexual selection on traits that have a shared\r\ngenetic basis between both sexes, causing a genetic sexual conflict. The resolution of\r\nthis conflict mostly relies on the evolution of sex-specific expression of the shared genes,\r\nleading to phenotypic sexual dimorphism. Such sex-specific gene expression is thought\r\nto evolve via modifications of the genetic networks ultimately linked to sex-determining\r\ntranscription factors. Although much empirical and theoretical evidence supports this\r\nstandard picture of the molecular basis of sexual conflict resolution, there still are a\r\nfew open questions regarding the complex array of selective forces driving phenotypic\r\ndi↵erentiation between the sexes, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying sexspecific adaptation. I address some of these open questions in my PhD thesis.\r\nFirst, how do patterns of phenotypic sexual dimorphism vary within populations,\r\nas a response to the temporal and spatial changes in sex-specific selective forces? To\r\ntackle this question, I analyze the patterns of sex-specific phenotypic variation along\r\nthree life stages and across populations spanning the whole geographical range of Rumex\r\nhastatulus, a wind-pollinated angiosperm, in the first Chapter of the thesis.\r\nSecond, how do gene expression patterns lead to phenotypic dimorphism, and what\r\nare the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed transcriptomic variation? I\r\naddress this question by examining the sex- and tissue-specific expression variation in\r\nnewly-generated datasets of sex-specific expression in heads and gonads of Drosophila\r\nmelanogaster. I additionally used two complementary approaches for the study of the\r\ngenetic basis of sex di↵erences in gene expression in the second and third Chapters of\r\nthe thesis.\r\nThird, how does intersex correlation, thought to be one of the main aspects constraining the ability for the two sexes to decouple, interact with the evolution of sexual\r\ndimorphism? I develop models of sex-specific stabilizing selection, mutation and drift\r\nto formalize common intuition regarding the patterns of covariation between intersex\r\ncorrelation and sexual dimorphism in the fourth Chapter of the thesis.\r\nAlltogether, the work described in this PhD thesis provides useful insights into the\r\nlinks between genetic, transcriptomic and phenotypic layers of sex-specific variation,\r\nand contributes to our general understanding of the dynamics of sexual dimorphism\r\nevolution." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Gemma full_name: Puixeu Sala, Gemma id: 33AB266C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Puixeu Sala orcid: 0000-0001-8330-1754 citation: ama: 'Puixeu Sala G.

Here, we use allele-specific gene expression of parental and reciprocal hybrid crosses between 6 Drosophila\r\nmelanogaster inbred lines to quantify cis- and trans-regulatory variation in heads and gonads of both sexes separately across 3 replicate\r\ncrosses. Our results suggest that female and male heads, as well as ovaries, have a similar regulatory architecture. On the other hand,\r\ntestes display more and substantially different cis-regulatory effects, suggesting that sex differences in the regulatory architecture that\r\nhave been previously observed may largely derive from testis-specific effects. We also examine the difference in cis-regulatory variation\r\nof genes across different levels of sex bias in gonads and heads. Consistent with the idea that intersex correlations constrain expression\r\nand can lead to sexual antagonism, we find more cis variation in unbiased and moderately biased genes in heads. In ovaries, reduced cis\r\nvariation is observed for male-biased genes, suggesting that cis variants acting on these genes in males do not lead to changes in ovary\r\nexpression. Finally, we examine the dominance patterns of gene expression and find that sex- and tissue-specific patterns of inheritance\r\nas well as trans-regulatory variation are highly variable across biological crosses, although these were performed in highly controlled\r\nexperimental conditions. This highlights the importance of using various genetic backgrounds to infer generalizable patterns." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: We thank members of the Vicoso Group for comments on the manuscript, the Scientific Computing Unit at ISTA for technical support, and 2 anonymous reviewers for useful feedback.

We argue that the term should be defined based on the structure of the Ancestral Recombination Graph (ARG), which contains complete information on the ancestry of a sample. We use simulated examples to demonstrate key features of the relationship between haplotype blocks and ancestral structure, emphasizing the stochasticity of the processes that generate them. Even the simplest cases of neutrality or of a “hard” selective sweep produce a rich structure, often missed by commonly used statistics. We highlight a number of novel methods for inferring haplotype structure, based on the full ARG, or on a sequence of trees, and illustrate how they can be used to define haplotype blocks using an empirical data set. While the advent of new, computationally efficient methods makes it possible to apply these concepts broadly, they (and additional new methods) could benefit from adding features to explore haplotype blocks, as we define them. Understanding and applying the concept of the haplotype block will be essential to fully exploit long and linked-read sequencing technologies. acknowledgement: 'We thank the Barton group for useful discussion and feedback during the writing of this article.

It emphasizes speciation as a continuous process that may be studied by comparing contemporary population pairs that show differing levels of divergence. In their recent perspective article in Evolution, Stankowski and Ravinet provided a valuable service by formally defining the speciation continuum as a continuum of reproductive isolation, based on opinions gathered from a survey of speciation researchers. While we agree that the speciation continuum has been a useful concept to advance the understanding of the speciation process, some intrinsic limitations exist. Here, we advocate for a multivariate extension, the speciation hypercube, first proposed by Dieckmann et al. in 2004, but rarely used since. We extend the idea of the speciation cube and suggest it has strong conceptual and practical advantages over a one-dimensional model. We illustrate how the speciation hypercube can be used to visualize and compare different speciation trajectories, providing new insights into the processes and mechanisms of speciation. A key strength of the speciation hypercube is that it provides a unifying framework for speciation research, as it allows questions from apparently disparate subfields to be addressed in a single conceptual model. acknowledgement: "The authors of this article were supported by LMU Munich (J.B.W.W.), a James S.

Evolutionary pathways are neither directed nor deterministic, but rather an interplay between selection, migration, mutation, genetic drift and other environmental factors. Hybrid zones, as natural crossing experiments, offer a great opportunity to use cline analysis to deduce different evolutionary processes - for example, selection strength. Theoretical cline models, largely assuming uniform distribution of individuals, often lack the capability of incorporating population structure. Since in reality organisms mostly live in patchy distributions and their dispersal is hardly ever Gaussian, it is necessary to unravel the effect of these different elements of population structure on cline parameters and shape. In this thesis, I develop a simulation inspired by the A. majus hybrid zone of a single selected locus under frequency dependent selection. This simulation enables us to untangle the effects of different elements of population structure as for example a low-density center and long-range dispersal. This thesis is therefore a first step towards theoretically untangling the effects of different elements of population structure on cline parameters and shape.
