  text: The suppression of recombination between young X and Y chromosomes is a crucial
    step in their evolution, but why it occurs is not known. The detailed characterization
    of the polymorphic sex chromosomes of the fourspine stickleback by Liu et al.
    promises to shed new light on this longstanding question.

  text: Empirical data suggest that inversions in many species contain genes important
    for intraspecific divergence and speciation, yet mechanisms of evolution remain
    unclear. While genes inside an inversion are tightly linked, inversions are not
    static but evolve separately from the rest of the genome by new mutations, recombination
    within arrangements, and gene flux between arrangements. Inversion polymorphisms
    are maintained by different processes, for example, divergent or balancing selection,
    or a mix of multiple processes. Moreover, the relative roles of selection, drift,
    mutation, and recombination will change over the lifetime of an inversion and
    within its area of distribution. We believe inversions are central to the evolution
    of many species, but we need many more data and new models to understand the complex
    mechanisms involved.

  text: 'Social insect societies are long-standing models for understanding social
    behaviour and evolution. Unlike other advanced biological societies (such as the
    multicellular body), the component parts of social insect societies can be easily
    deconstructed and manipulated. Recent methodological and theoretical innovations
    have exploited this trait to address an expanded range of biological questions.
    We illustrate the broadening range of biological insight coming from social insect
    biology with four examples. These new frontiers promote open-minded, interdisciplinary
    exploration of one of the richest and most complex of biological phenomena: sociality.'

  text: The study of speciation has become one of the most active areas of evolutionary
    biology, and substantial progress has been made in documenting and understanding
    phenomena ranging from sympatric speciation and reinforcement to the evolutionary
    genetics of postzygotic isolation. This progress has been driven largely by empirical
    results, and most useful theoretical work has concentrated on making sense of
    empirical patterns. Given the complexity of speciation, mathematical theory is
    subordinate to verbal theory and generalizations about data. Nevertheless, mathematical
    theory can provide a useful classification of verbal theories; can help determine
    the biological plausibility of verbal theories; can determine whether alternative
    mechanisms of speciation are consistent with empirical patterns; and can occasionally
    provide predictions that go beyond empirical generalizations. We discuss recent
    examples of progress in each of these areas.
