The paper compares genetic differentiation and inversion patterns in snail ecotypes across two hybrid zones, finding shared and site-specific genomic architectures for adaptation to wave exposure.

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.

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.

This paper presents a new chromosome-scale genome assembly of Littorina saxatilis with improved contiguity and completeness, enabling better study of chromosomal inversions and their role in speciation.

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

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.

poolHelper simulates Pool-Seq data to optimize study design by evaluating parameter combinations for accurate allele frequency estimation with minimal sequencing effort.
