text: 'Speciation is rarely observable directly. A way forward is to compare pairs
of ecotypes that evolved in parallel in similar contexts but have reached different
degrees of reproductive isolation. Such comparisons are possible in the marine
snail Littorina saxatilis by contrasting barriers to gene flow between parallel
ecotypes in Spain and Sweden. In both countries, divergent ecotypes have evolved
to withstand either crab predation or wave action. Here, we explore transects
spanning contact zones between the Crab and the Wave ecotypes using low-coverage
whole-genome sequencing, morphological and behavioural traits. Despite parallel
phenotypic divergence, distinct patterns of differentiation between the ecotypes
emerged: a continuous cline in Sweden indicating a weak barrier to gene flow,
but two highly genetically and phenotypically divergent, and partly spatially
overlapping clusters in Spain suggesting a much stronger barrier to gene flow.
The absence of Spanish early-generation hybrids supported strong isolation, but
a low level of gene flow is evident from molecular data. In both countries, highly
differentiated loci were located in both shared and country-specific chromosomal
inversions but were also present in collinear regions. Despite being considered
the same species and showing similar levels of phenotypic divergence, the Spanish
ecotypes are much closer to full reproductive isolation than the Swedish ones.
Barriers to gene flow of very different strengths between ecotypes within the
same species might be explained by dissimilarities in the spatial arrangement
of habitats, the selection gradients or the ages of the systems.'

text: Inferring genealogical relationships of wild populations is useful because
it gives direct estimates of mating patterns and variance in reproductive success.
Inference can be improved by including information about parentage shared between
siblings, or by modelling phenotypes or population data related to mating. However,
we currently lack a framework to infer parent–offspring relationships, sibships
and population parameters in a single analysis. To address this, we here extend
a previous method, Fractional Analysis of Paternity and Sibships, to include population
data for the case where one parent is known. We illustrate this with the example
of pollen dispersal in a natural hybrid zone population of the snapdragon Antirrhinum
majus. Pollen dispersal is leptokurtic, with half of mating events occurring within
30 m, but with a long tail of mating events up to 859 m. Using simulations, we
find that both sibship and population information substantially improve pedigree
reconstruction, and that we can expect to resolve median dispersal distances with
high accuracy.

text: 'A major goal of speciation research is identifying loci that underpin barriers
to gene flow. Population genomics takes a ‘bottom-up’ approach, scanning the genome
for molecular signatures of processes that drive or maintain divergence. However,
interpreting the ‘genomic landscape’ of speciation is complicated, because genome
scans conflate multiple processes, most of which are not informative about gene
flow. However, studying replicated population contrasts, including multiple incidences
of secondary contact, can strengthen inferences. In this paper, we use linked-read
sequencing (haplotagging), FST scans and genealogical methods to characterise
the genomic landscape associated with replicate hybrid zone formation. We studied
two flower colour varieties of the common snapdragon, Antirrhinum majus subspecies
majus, that form secondary hybrid zones in multiple independent valleys in the
Pyrenees. Consistent with past work, we found very low differentiation at one
well-studied zone (Planoles). However, at a second zone (Avellanet), we found
stronger differentiation and greater heterogeneity, which we argue is due to differences
in the amount of introgression following secondary contact. Topology weighting
of genealogical trees identified loci where haplotype diversity was associated
with the two snapdragon varieties. Two of the strongest associations were at previously
identified flower colour loci: Flavia, that affects yellow pigmentation, and Rosea/Eluta,
two linked loci that affect magenta pigmentation. Preliminary analysis of coalescence
times provides additional evidence for selective sweeps at these loci and barriers
to gene flow. Our study highlights the impact of demographic history on the differentiation
landscape, emphasising the need to distinguish between historical divergence and
recent introgression.'

text: Inversions are thought to play a key role in adaptation and speciation, suppressing
recombination between diverging populations. Genes influencing adaptive traits
cluster in inversions, and changes in inversion frequencies are associated with
environmental differences. However, in many organisms, it is unclear if inversions
are geographically and taxonomically widespread. The intertidal snail, Littorina
saxatilis, is one such example. Strong associations between putative polymorphic
inversions and phenotypic differences have been demonstrated between two ecotypes
of L. saxatilis in Sweden and inferred elsewhere, but no direct evidence for inversion
polymorphism currently exists across the species range. Using whole genome data
from 107 snails, most inversion polymorphisms were found to be widespread across
the species range. The frequencies of some inversion arrangements were significantly
different among ecotypes, suggesting a parallel adaptive role. Many inversions
were also polymorphic in the sister species, L. arcana, hinting at an ancient
origin.

us to look at heterozygosity differences to identify inversions, and Katherine Hearn

text: Understanding the phenotypic and genetic architecture of reproductive isolation
is a long‐standing goal of speciation research. In several systems, large‐effect
loci contributing to barrier phenotypes have been characterized, but such causal
connections are rarely known for more complex genetic architectures. In this study,
we combine “top‐down” and “bottom‐up” approaches with demographic modelling toward
an integrated understanding of speciation across a monkeyflower hybrid zone. Previous
work suggests that pollinator visitation acts as a primary barrier to gene flow
between two divergent red‐ and yellow‐flowered ecotypes ofMimulus
aurantiacus. Several candidate isolating traits and anonymous single
nucleotide polymorphism loci under divergent selection have been identified, but
their genomic positions remain unknown. Here, we report findings from demographic
analyses that indicate this hybrid zone formed by secondary contact, but that
subsequent gene flow was restricted by widespread barrier loci across the genome.
Using a novel, geographic cline‐based genome scan, we demonstrate that candidate
barrier loci are broadly distributed across the genome, rather than mapping to
one or a few “islands of speciation.” Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping reveals
that most floral traits are highly polygenic, with little evidence that QTL colocalize,
indicating that most traits are genetically independent. Finally, we find little
evidence that QTL and candidate barrier loci overlap, suggesting that some loci
contribute to other forms of reproductive isolation. Our findings highlight the
challenges of understanding the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation
and reveal that barriers to gene flow other than pollinator isolation may play
an important role in this system.

text: The term “haplotype block” is commonly used in the developing field of haplotype-based
inference methods. We argue that the term should be defined based on the structure
of the Ancestral Recombination Graph (ARG), which contains complete information
on the ancestry of a sample. We use simulated examples to demonstrate key features
of the relationship between haplotype blocks and ancestral structure, emphasizing
the stochasticity of the processes that generate them. Even the simplest cases
of neutrality or of a “hard” selective sweep produce a rich structure, often missed
by commonly used statistics. We highlight a number of novel methods for inferring
haplotype structure, based on the full ARG, or on a sequence of trees, and illustrate
how they can be used to define haplotype blocks using an empirical data set. While
the advent of new, computationally efficient methods makes it possible to apply
these concepts broadly, they (and additional new methods) could benefit from adding
features to explore haplotype blocks, as we define them. Understanding and applying
the concept of the haplotype block will be essential to fully exploit long and
linked-read sequencing technologies.

text: Combining hybrid zone analysis with genomic data is a promising approach to
understanding the genomic basis of adaptive divergence. It allows for the identification
of genomic regions underlying barriers to gene flow. It also provides insights
into spatial patterns of allele frequency change, informing about the interplay
between environmental factors, dispersal and selection. However, when only a single
hybrid zone is analysed, it is difficult to separate patterns generated by selection
from those resulting from chance. Therefore, it is beneficial to look for repeatable
patterns across replicate hybrid zones in the same system. We applied this approach
to the marine snail Littorina saxatilis, which contains two ecotypes, adapted
to wave-exposed rocks vs. high-predation boulder fields. The existence of numerous
hybrid zones between ecotypes offered the opportunity to test for the repeatability
of genomic architectures and spatial patterns of divergence. We sampled and phenotyped
snails from seven replicate hybrid zones on the Swedish west coast and genotyped
them for thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Shell shape and size showed
parallel clines across all zones. Many genomic regions showing steep clines and/or
high differentiation were shared among hybrid zones, consistent with a common
evolutionary history and extensive gene flow between zones, and supporting the
importance of these regions for divergence. In particular, we found that several
large putative inversions contribute to divergence in all locations. Additionally,
we found evidence for consistent displacement of clines from the boulder–rock
transition. Our results demonstrate patterns of spatial variation that would not
be accessible without continuous spatial sampling, a large genomic data set and
replicate hybrid zones.

text: A key step in understanding the genetic basis of different evolutionary outcomes
(e.g., adaptation) is to determine the roles played by different mutation types
(e.g., SNPs, translocations and inversions). To do this we must simultaneously
consider different mutation types in an evolutionary framework. Here, we propose
a research framework that directly utilizes the most important characteristics
of mutations, their population genetic effects, to determine their relative evolutionary
significance in a given scenario. We review known population genetic effects of
different mutation types and show how these may be connected to different evolutionary
outcomes. We provide examples of how to implement this framework and pinpoint
areas where more data, theory and synthesis are needed. Linking experimental and
theoretical approaches to examine different mutation types simultaneously is a
critical step towards understanding their evolutionary significance.

text: Both classical and recent studies suggest that chromosomal inversion polymorphisms
are important in adaptation and speciation. However, biases in discovery and reporting
of inversions make it difficult to assess their prevalence and biological importance.
Here, we use an approach based on linkage disequilibrium among markers genotyped
for samples collected across a transect between contrasting habitats to detect
chromosomal rearrangements de novo. We report 17 polymorphic rearrangements in
a single locality for the coastal marine snail, Littorina saxatilis. Patterns
of diversity in the field and of recombination in controlled crosses provide strong
evidence that at least the majority of these rearrangements are inversions. Most
show clinal changes in frequency between habitats, suggestive of divergent selection,
but only one appears to be fixed for different arrangements in the two habitats.
Consistent with widespread evidence for balancing selection on inversion polymorphisms,
we argue that a combination of heterosis and divergent selection can explain the
observed patterns and should be considered in other systems spanning environmental
gradients.

text: X and Y chromosomes can diverge when rearrangements block recombination between
them. Here we present the first genomic view of a reciprocal translocation that
causes two physically unconnected pairs of chromosomes to be coinherited as sex
chromosomes. In a population of the common frog (Rana temporaria), both pairs
of X and Y chromosomes show extensive sequence differentiation, but not degeneration
of the Y chromosomes. A new method based on gene trees shows both chromosomes
are sex‐linked. Furthermore, the gene trees from the two Y chromosomes have identical
topologies, showing they have been coinherited since the reciprocal translocation
occurred. Reciprocal translocations can thus reshape sex linkage on a much greater
scale compared with inversions, the type of rearrangement that is much better
known in sex chromosome evolution, and they can greatly amplify the power of sexually
antagonistic selection to drive genomic rearrangement. Two more populations show
evidence of other rearrangements, suggesting that this species has unprecedented
structural polymorphism in its sex chromosomes.

text: "One of the most striking and consistent results in speciation genomics is
the heterogeneous divergence observed across the genomes of closely related species.
This pattern was initially attributed to different levels of gene exchange—with
divergence preserved at loci generating a barrier to gene flow but homogenized
at unlinked neutral loci. Although there is evidence to support this model, it
is now recognized that interpreting patterns of divergence across genomes is not
so straightforward. One \r\nproblem is that heterogenous divergence between populations
can also be generated by other processes (e.g. recurrent selective sweeps or background
selection) without any involvement of differential gene flow. Thus, integrated
studies that identify which loci are likely subject to divergent selection are
required to shed light on the interplay between selection and gene flow during
the early phases of speciation. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Rifkin et
al. (2019) confront this challenge using a pair of sister morning glory species.
They wisely design their sampling to take the geographic context of individuals
into account, including geographically isolated (allopatric) and co‐occurring
(sympatric) populations. This enabled them to show that individuals are phenotypically
less differentiated in sympatry. They also found that the loci that resist introgression
are enriched for those most differentiated in allopatry and loci that exhibit
signals of divergent selection. One great strength of the \r\nstudy is the combination
of methods from population genetics and molecular evolution, including the development
of a model to simultaneously infer admixture proportions and selfing rates."

text: Currently, there is much debate on the genetic architecture of quantitative
traits in wild populations. Is trait variation influenced by many genes of small
effect or by a few genes of major effect? Where is additive genetic variation
located in the genome? Do the same loci cause similar phenotypic variation in
different populations? Great tits (Parus major) have been studied extensively
in long‐term studies across Europe and consequently are considered an ecological
‘model organism’. Recently, genomic resources have been developed for the great
tit, including a custom SNP chip and genetic linkage map. In this study, we used
a suite of approaches to investigate the genetic architecture of eight quantitative
traits in two long‐term study populations of great tits—one in the Netherlands
and the other in the United Kingdom. Overall, we found little evidence for the
presence of genes of large effects in either population. Instead, traits appeared
to be influenced by many genes of small effect, with conservative estimates of
the number of contributing loci ranging from 31 to 310. Despite concordance between
population‐specific heritabilities, we found no evidence for the presence of loci
having similar effects in both populations. While population‐specific genetic
architectures are possible, an undetected shared architecture cannot be rejected
because of limited power to map loci of small and moderate effects. This study
is one of few examples of genetic architecture analysis in replicated wild populations
and highlights some of the challenges and limitations researchers will face when
attempting similar molecular quantitative genetic studies in free‐living populations.

text: The underlying basis of genetic variation in quantitative traits, in terms
of the number of causal variants and the size of their effects, is largely unknown
in natural populations. The expectation is that complex quantitative trait variation
is attributable to many, possibly interacting, causal variants, whose effects
may depend upon the sex, age and the environment in which they are expressed.
A recently developed methodology in animal breeding derives a value of relatedness
among individuals from high‐density genomic marker data, to estimate additive
genetic variance within livestock populations. Here, we adapt and test the effectiveness
of these methods to partition genetic variation for complex traits across genomic
regions within ecological study populations where individuals have varying degrees
of relatedness. We then apply this approach for the first time to a natural population
and demonstrate that genetic variation in wing length in the great tit (Parus
major) reflects contributions from multiple genomic regions. We show that a polygenic
additive mode of gene action best describes the patterns observed, and we find
no evidence of dosage compensation for the sex chromosome. Our results suggest
that most of the genomic regions that influence wing length have the same effects
in both sexes. We found a limited amount of genetic variance in males that is
attributed to regions that have no effects in females, which could facilitate
the sexual dimorphism observed for this trait. Although this exploratory work
focuses on one complex trait, the methodology is generally applicable to any trait
for any laboratory or wild population, paving the way for investigating sex‐,
age‐ and environment‐specific genetic effects and thus the underlying genetic
architecture of phenotype in biological study systems.

text: Clutch size and egg mass are life history traits that have been extensively
studied in wild bird populations, as life history theory predicts a negative trade‐off
between them, either at the phenotypic or at the genetic level. Here, we analyse
the genomic architecture of these heritable traits in a wild great tit (Parus
major) population, using three marker‐based approaches – chromosome partitioning,
quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and a genome‐wide association study (GWAS).
The variance explained by each great tit chromosome scales with predicted chromosome
size, no location in the genome contains genome‐wide significant QTL, and no individual
SNPs are associated with a large proportion of phenotypic variation, all of which
may suggest that variation in both traits is due to many loci of small effect,
located across the genome. There is no evidence that any regions of the genome
contribute significantly to both traits, which combined with a small, nonsignificant
negative genetic covariance between the traits, suggests the absence of genetic
constraints on the independent evolution of these traits. Our findings support
the hypothesis that variation in life history traits in natural populations is
likely to be determined by many loci of small effect spread throughout the genome,
which are subject to continued input of variation by mutation and migration, although
we cannot exclude the possibility of an additional input of major effect genes
influencing either trait.
