The spatial distribution and temporal trends of livestock damages caused by wolves in Europe

This study analyzes livestock damage incidents caused by wolves in Europe from 2018-2020, finding regional variation and suggesting that management efforts can mitigate conflicts despite wolf population growth.

Climate-induced range shifts drive adaptive response via spatio-temporal sorting of alleles

The paper shows that climate-induced range shifts in Dianthus sylvestris led to adaptive responses through spatio-temporal sorting of alleles during post-glacial expansions.

Demogenomic modeling of the timing and the processesof early European farmers differentiation

This study uses demogenomic modeling to show early European farmers arose from post-LGM mixing of Near Eastern and Western hunter-gatherer populations and experienced extreme genetic drift during westward expansion.

A sparse observation model to quantify species interactions in time and space

The paper introduces Tomcat, a Bayesian model to estimate species interactions using camera trap data, showing limited overlap between most duiker species.

Selection on ancestral genetic variation fuels parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins

The paper investigates how selection on ancestral genetic variation drives parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins by analyzing whole genomes of 57 individuals.

Identifying loci under selection via explicit demographic models

This paper introduces LSD, a method to identify loci under selection by incorporating explicit demographic models, showing it outperforms existing methods and detects genetic trade-offs in Antirrhinum majus.

Estimating and accounting for genotyping errors in RAD-seq experiments

This paper introduces methods to estimate and account for genotyping errors in RAD-seq data, showing high error rates at heterozygous sites and demonstrating their impact on ancestry inference in Populus hybrids.

Admixture mapping in interspecific Populus hybrids identifies classes of genomic architectures for phytochemical, morphological and growth traits

The paper uses GWAS in Populus hybrids to identify three classes of genomic architectures for phytochemical, morphological, and growth traits.

Inference of evolutionary jumps in large phylogenies using Levy processes

The paper develops an efficient algorithm to infer evolutionary jumps in large phylogenies and applies it to Anolis lizards and Loriini parrots, finding strong signals at the bases of clades transitioning into new adaptive zones.
