      Louis, Marie; Korlević, Petra; Nykänen, Milaja; Archer, Frederick; Berrow, Simon; Brownlow, Andrew; Lorenzen, Eline D.; O’Brien, Joanne; Post, Klaas; Racimo, Fernando; Rogan, Emer; Rosel, Patricia E.; Sinding, Mikkel Holger Strander; van der Es, Henry; Wales, Nathan; Fontaine, Michael C.; Gaggiotti, Oscar E.; Foote, Andrew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Parallel evolution provides strong evidence of adaptation by natural selection due to local environmental variation. Yet, the chronology, and mode of the process of parallel evolution remains debated. Here, we harness the ...
    • Runs of homozygosity in killer whale genomes provide a global record of demographic histories

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Runs of homozygosity (ROH) occur when offspring inherit haplotypes that are identical by descent from each parent. Length distributions of ROH are informative about population history; specifically, the probability of ...
    • Selection on ancestral genetic variation fuels repeated ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins 

      Louis, Marie; Galimberti, Marco; Archer, Frederick; Berrow, Simon; Brownlow, Andrew; Fallon, Ramon; Nykänen, Milaja; O'Brien, Joanne; Roberston, Kelly M.; Rosel, Patricia E.; Simon-Bouhet, Benoit; Wegmann, Daniel; Fontaine, Michael C.; Foote, Andrew D.; Gaggiotti, Oscar E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Studying repeated adaptation can provide insights into the mechanisms allowing species to adapt to novel environments. Here, we investigate repeated evolution driven by habitat specialization in the common bottlenose ...
