  text: "Polymorphic short insertions and deletions (INDELs \r\n 50 bp) are abundant,
    although less common than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Evidence from
    model organisms shows INDELs to be more strongly influenced by purifying selection
    than SNPs. Partly for this reason, INDELs are rarely used as markers for demographic
    processes or to detect divergent selection. Here, we compared INDELs and SNPs
    in the intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis, focussing on hybrid zones between
    ecotypes, in order to test the utility of INDELs in the detection of divergent
    selection. We computed INDEL and SNP site frequency spectra using capture sequencing
    data. We assessed the impact of divergent selection by analyzing allele frequency
    clines across habitat boundaries. We also examined the influence of GC-biased
    gene conversion because it may be confounded with signatures of selection. We
    show evidence that short INDELs are affected more by purifying selection than
    SNPs, but part of the observed site frequency spectra difference can be attributed
    to GC-biased gene conversion. We did not find a difference in the impact of divergent
    selection between short INDELs and SNPs. Short INDELs and SNPs were similarly
    distributed across the genome and so are likely to respond to indirect selection
    in the same way. A few regions likely affected by divergent selection were revealed
    by INDELs and not by SNPs. Short INDELs can be useful (additional) genetic markers
    helping to identify genomic regions important for adaptation and population divergence."

  text: 'The impact of climate change on populations will be contingent upon their
    contemporary adaptive evolution. In this study, we investigated the contemporary
    evolution of 4 populations of the cold-water kelp Laminaria digitata by analyzing
    their spatial and temporal genomic variations using ddRAD-sequencing. These populations
    were sampled from the center to the southern margin of its north-eastern Atlantic
    distribution at 2 time points, spanning at least 2 generations. Through genome
    scans for local adaptation at a single time point, we identified candidate loci
    that showed clinal variation correlated with changes in sea surface temperature
    (SST) along latitudinal gradients. This finding suggests that SST may drive the
    adaptive response of these kelp populations, although factors such as species’
    demographic history should also be considered. Additionally, we performed a simulation
    approach to distinguish the effect of selection from genetic drift in allele frequency
    changes over time. This enabled the detection of loci in the southernmost population
    that exhibited temporal differentiation beyond what would be expected from genetic
    drift alone: these are candidate loci which could have evolved under selection
    over time. In contrast, we did not detect any outlier locus based on temporal
    differentiation in the population from the North Sea, which also displayed low
    and decreasing levels of genetic diversity. The diverse evolutionary scenarios
    observed among populations can be attributed to variations in the prevalence of
    selection relative to genetic drift across different environments. Therefore,
    our study highlights the potential of temporal genomics to offer valuable insights
    into the contemporary evolution of marine foundation species facing climate change.'

  text: We know that heritable variation is abundant, and that selection causes all
    but the smallest populations to rapidly shift beyond their original trait distribution.
    So then, what limits the range of a species? There are physical constraints and
    also population genetic limits to the effectiveness of selection, ultimately set
    by population size. Global adaptation, where the same genotype is favoured over
    the whole range, is most efficient when based on a multitude of weakly selected
    alleles and is effective even when local demes are small, provided that there
    is some gene flow. In contrast, local adaptation is sensitive to gene flow and
    may require alleles with substantial effect. How can populations combine the advantages
    of large effective size with the ability to specialise into local niches? To what
    extent does reproductive isolation help resolve this tension? I address these
    questions using eco-evolutionary models of polygenic adaptation, contrasting discrete
    demes with continuousspace.

  text: Inversions are structural mutations that reverse the sequence of a chromosome
    segment and reduce the effective rate of recombination in the heterozygous state.
    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.

  text: Reproductive isolation (RI) is a core concept in evolutionary biology. It
    has been the central focus of speciation research since the modern synthesis and
    is the basis by which biological species are defined. Despite this, the term is
    used in seemingly different ways, and attempts to quantify RI have used very different
    approaches. After showing that the field lacks a clear definition of the term,
    we attempt to clarify key issues, including what RI is, how it can be quantified
    in principle, and how it can be measured in practice. Following other definitions
    with a genetic focus, we propose that RI is a quantitative measure of the effect
    that genetic differences between populations have on gene flow. Specifically,
    RI compares the flow of neutral alleles in the presence of these genetic differences
    to the flow without any such differences. RI is thus greater than zero when genetic
    differences between populations reduce the flow of neutral alleles between populations.
    We show how RI can be quantified in a range of scenarios. A key conclusion is
    that RI depends strongly on circumstances—including the spatial, temporal and
    genomic context—making it difficult to compare across systems. After reviewing
    methods for estimating RI from data, we conclude that it is difficult to measure
    in practice. We discuss our findings in light of the goals of speciation research
    and encourage the use of methods for estimating RI that integrate organismal and
    genetic approaches.

  text: The Mytilus complex of marine mussel species forms a mosaic of hybrid zones,
    found across temperate regions of the globe. This allows us to study ‘replicated’
    instances of secondary contact between closely related species. Previous work
    on this complex has shown that local introgression is both widespread and highly
    heterogeneous, and has identified SNPs that are outliers of differentiation between
    lineages. Here, we developed an ancestry‐informative panel of such SNPs. We then
    compared their frequencies in newly sampled populations, including samples from
    within the hybrid zones, and parental populations at different distances from
    the contact. Results show that close to the hybrid zones, some outlier loci are
    near to fixation for the heterospecific allele, suggesting enhanced local introgression,
    or the local sweep of a shared ancestral allele. Conversely, genomic cline analyses,
    treating local parental populations as the reference, reveal a globally high concordance
    among loci, albeit with a few signals of asymmetric introgression. Enhanced local
    introgression at specific loci is consistent with the early transfer of adaptive
    variants after contact, possibly including asymmetric bi‐stable variants (Dobzhansky‐Muller
    incompatibilities), or haplotypes loaded with fewer deleterious mutations. Having
    escaped one barrier, however, these variants can be trapped or delayed at the
    next barrier, confining the introgression locally. These results shed light on
    the decay of species barriers during phases of contact.

  text: Domestication is a human‐induced selection process that imprints the genomes
    of domesticated populations over a short evolutionary time scale and that occurs
    in a given demographic context. Reconstructing historical gene flow, effective
    population size changes and their timing is therefore of fundamental interest
    to understand how plant demography and human selection jointly shape genomic divergence
    during domestication. Yet, the comparison under a single statistical framework
    of independent domestication histories across different crop species has been
    little evaluated so far. Thus, it is unclear whether domestication leads to convergent
    demographic changes that similarly affect crop genomes. To address this question,
    we used existing and new transcriptome data on three crop species of Solanaceae
    (eggplant, pepper and tomato), together with their close wild relatives. We fitted
    twelve demographic models of increasing complexity on the unfolded joint allele
    frequency spectrum for each wild/crop pair, and we found evidence for both shared
    and species‐specific demographic processes between species. A convergent history
    of domestication with gene flow was inferred for all three species, along with
    evidence of strong reduction in the effective population size during the cultivation
    stage of tomato and pepper. The absence of any reduction in size of the crop in
    eggplant stands out from the classical view of the domestication process; as does
    the existence of a “protracted period” of management before cultivation. Our results
    also suggest divergent management strategies of modern cultivars among species
    as their current demography substantially differs. Finally, the timing of domestication
    is species‐specific and supported by the few historical records available.

  text: 'Marine environments are inhabited by a broad representation of the tree of
    life, yet our understanding of speciation in marine ecosystems is extremely limited
    compared with terrestrial and freshwater environments. Developing a more comprehensive
    picture of speciation in marine environments requires that we ''dive under the
    surface'' by studying a wider range of taxa and ecosystems is necessary for a
    more comprehensive picture of speciation. Although studying marine evolutionary
    processes is often challenging, recent technological advances in different fields,
    from maritime engineering to genomics, are making it increasingly possible to
    study speciation of marine life forms across diverse ecosystems and taxa. Motivated
    by recent research in the field, including the 14 contributions in this issue,
    we highlight and discuss six axes of research that we think will deepen our understanding
    of speciation in the marine realm: (a) study a broader range of marine environments
    and organisms; (b) identify the reproductive barriers driving speciation between
    marine taxa; (c) understand the role of different genomic architectures underlying
    reproductive isolation; (d) infer the evolutionary history of divergence using
    model‐based approaches; (e) study patterns of hybridization and introgression
    between marine taxa; and (f) implement highly interdisciplinary, collaborative
    research programmes. In outlining these goals, we hope to inspire researchers
    to continue filling this critical knowledge gap surrounding the origins of marine
    biodiversity.'

  text: Genetic incompatibilities contribute to reproductive isolation between many
    diverging populations, but it is still unclear to what extent they play a role
    if divergence happens with gene flow. In contact zones between the "Crab" and
    "Wave" ecotypes of the snail Littorina saxatilis, divergent selection forms strong
    barriers to gene flow, while the role of post‐zygotic barriers due to selection
    against hybrids remains unclear. High embryo abortion rates in this species could
    indicate the presence of such barriers. Post‐zygotic barriers might include genetic
    incompatibilities (e.g. Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibilities) but also maladaptation,
    both expected to be most pronounced in contact zones. In addition, embryo abortion
    might reflect physiological stress on females and embryos independent of any genetic
    stress. We examined all embryos of >500 females sampled outside and inside contact
    zones of three populations in Sweden. Females' clutch size ranged from 0 to 1,011
    embryos (mean 130 ± 123), and abortion rates varied between 0% and 100% (mean
    12%). We described female genotypes by using a hybrid index based on hundreds
    of SNPs differentiated between ecotypes with which we characterized female genotypes.
    We also calculated female SNP heterozygosity and inversion karyotype. Clutch size
    did not vary with female hybrid index, and abortion rates were only weakly related
    to hybrid index in two sites but not at all in a third site. No additional variation
    in abortion rate was explained by female SNP heterozygosity, but increased female
    inversion heterozygosity added slightly to increased abortion. Our results show
    only weak and probably biologically insignificant post‐zygotic barriers contributing
    to ecotype divergence, and the high and variable abortion rates were marginally,
    if at all, explained by hybrid index of females.

  text: Insects are exposed to a variety of potential pathogens in their environment,
    many of which can severely impact fitness and health. Consequently, hosts have
    evolved resistance and tolerance strategies to suppress or cope with infections.
    Hosts utilizing resistance improve fitness by clearing or reducing pathogen loads,
    and hosts utilizing tolerance reduce harmful fitness effects per pathogen load.
    To understand variation in, and selective pressures on, resistance and tolerance,
    we asked to what degree they are shaped by host genetic background, whether plasticity
    in these responses depends upon dietary environment, and whether there are interactions
    between these two factors. Females from ten wild-type Drosophila melanogaster
    genotypes were kept on high- or low-protein (yeast) diets and infected with one
    of two opportunistic bacterial pathogens, Lactococcus lactis or Pseudomonas entomophila.
    We measured host resistance as the inverse of bacterial load in the early infection
    phase. The relationship (slope) between fly fecundity and individual-level bacteria
    load provided our fecundity tolerance measure. Genotype and dietary yeast determined
    host fecundity and strongly affected survival after infection with pathogenic
    P. entomophila. There was considerable genetic variation in host resistance, a
    commonly found phenomenon resulting from for example varying resistance costs
    or frequency-dependent selection. Despite this variation and the reproductive
    cost of higher P. entomophila loads, fecundity tolerance did not vary across genotypes.
    The absence of genetic variation in tolerance may suggest that at this early infection
    stage, fecundity tolerance is fixed or that any evolved tolerance mechanisms are
    not expressed under these infection conditions.

  text: The unprecedented polymorphism in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
    genes is thought to be maintained by balancing selection from parasites. However,
    do parasites also drive divergence at MHC loci between host populations, or do
    the effects of balancing selection maintain similarities among populations? We
    examined MHC variation in populations of the livebearing fish Poecilia mexicana
    and characterized their parasite communities. Poecilia mexicana populations in
    the Cueva del Azufre system are locally adapted to darkness and the presence of
    toxic hydrogen sulphide, representing highly divergent ecotypes or incipient species.
    Parasite communities differed significantly across populations, and populations
    with higher parasite loads had higher levels of diversity at class II MHC genes.
    However, despite different parasite communities, marked divergence in adaptive
    traits and in neutral genetic markers, we found MHC alleles to be remarkably similar
    among host populations. Our findings indicate that balancing selection from parasites
    maintains immunogenetic diversity of hosts, but this process does not promote
    MHC divergence in this system. On the contrary, we suggest that balancing selection
    on immunogenetic loci may outweigh divergent selection causing divergence, thereby
    hindering host divergence and speciation. Our findings support the hypothesis
    that balancing selection maintains MHC similarities among lineages during and
    after speciation (trans-species evolution).
