Many organisms possess multiple discrete genomes (i.e. nuclear and organellar), which are inherited separately and may have unique and even conflicting evolutionary histories. Phylogenetic reconstructions from these discrete genomes can yield different patterns of relatedness, a phenomenon known as cytonuclear discordance. In many animals, mitonuclear discordance (i.e. discordant evolutionary histories between the nuclear and...

The concept of a fundamental ecological niche is central to questions of geographic distribution, population demography, species conservation, and evolutionary potential. However, robust inference of genomic regions associated with evolutionary adaptation to particular environmental conditions remains difficult due to the myriad of potential confounding processes that can generate heterogeneous patterns of variation across the...
