The hidden side of invasions: massive introgression by local genes
… At any location of the lattice, the probability of a successful introgression event is thus defined

Early farmers from across Europe directly descended from Neolithic Aegeans
Farming and sedentism first appeared in southwestern Asia during the early Holocene and
later spread to neighboring regions, including Europe, along multiple dispersal routes. …

The fate of mutations surfing on the wave of a range expansion
… The various combinations of m and K we used allowed us to study a broad range of
migrations between neighboring demes (Nm varied between 1 and 200). These migration rates …

Evolution of lactase persistence: an example of human niche construction
Niche construction is the process by which organisms construct important components of their
local environment in ways that introduce novel selection pressures. Lactase persistence is …
