The paper applies a selfing-aware demographic inference method to Hawaiian C. elegans populations, revealing population structure, bottlenecks, and the impact of self-fertilization on demographic estimates.

This paper introduces SMC(k), a tunable approximation of the Coalescent with Recombination, showing it balances computational efficiency and accuracy in simulating Ancestral Recombination Graphs.

diempy provides a fast, reference-free method for genome polarisation, enabling analysis of population structure and admixture without pure reference panels.

The paper identifies genomic barriers to gene flow between two wood ant species despite ongoing hybridization, revealing persistent incompatibilities and their functional implications.

The study analyzes genomic data from Drosophila species to test the allopatric speciation model, finding common gene flow and suggesting speciation often involves long-term gene flow rather than extensive allopatry.

The paper investigates long-term gene flow barriers in hybridising swallowtail butterflies using whole-genome sequencing data, finding that regions of low recent hybridisation are enriched for long-term barriers to divergence.

The paper studies neo-sex chromosome evolution in butterflies, finding that rare recombination can reverse degradation and create divergence plateaus on neo-W chromosomes.

The paper implements and evaluates algorithms for inferring ancestral linkage groups and inter-chromosomal rearrangements using synteny, showing their effectiveness and limitations with simulations and nematode genome data.

The paper introduces msprime 1.0, a high-performance simulation tool for ancestry and mutation in population genetics, showing it is faster and more memory efficient than existing alternatives.

This study examines genetic diversity in European butterflies and finds it correlates with body size and genetic map length, not population size or fecundity.
