Predicting rapid adaptation in time from adaptation in space: a 30-year field experiment in marine snails

The paper predicts rapid temporal adaptation in marine snails using spatial genetic and phenotypic variation from a 30-year transplant experiment, finding observed changes align with predictions.

Phenotypic divergence and genomic architecture between parallel ecotypes at two different points on the speciation continuum in a marine snail

The paper compares parallel ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis in Spain and Sweden to assess divergence in gene flow, finding stronger reproductive isolation in Spain despite similar phenotypic divergence.

Parallel evolution of local adaptation in Littorina saxatilis inferred with whole-genome pool-seq data

The paper uses whole-genome pool-seq data and approximate Bayesian computation to show parallel ecotype formation in Littorina saxatilis across Spain and Sweden despite gene flow.

Coupling of 12 chromosomal inversions maintains a strong barrier to gene flow between ecotypes

The paper identifies 12 chromosomal inversions that strongly couple reproductive barriers between ecotypes of Littorina fabalis, maintaining genetic integrity despite hybridization.

Understanding the adaptive role of chromosomal inversions across large geographical scales: The potential of pool-seq data

The paper uses pool-seq data to analyze chromosomal inversions across geographical scales, finding that some inversions contribute to local adaptation to environmental factors like wave exposure and shore height.

Assessing the role of inversions in maintaining genomic differentiation after secondary contact: local adaptation, genetic incompatibilities, and drift

This study shows that chromosomal inversions can maintain genomic differentiation after secondary contact in finite populations, even with gene flux, by prolonging differentiation persistence and allowing for new incompatibilities and adaptations.

Genomic architecture of parallel ecological divergence: beyond a single environmental contrast

This study investigates the genetic basis of parallel ecological divergence in Littorina saxatilis across two environmental axes, finding low but heterogeneous genomic sharing and complex interactions between geography, history, and environmental congruence.
