Here are some graphics that we developed for our research and that we think are really cool! Follow the links to see the high resolution versions.

This figure is from our "Inversion Invasions" paper. An inversion is a region of DNA that has been "flipped" around - all the genetic material is there, but in a different order! Many non-human species have multiple, large, and old inversions, but how and why does this evolve? In this figure we show how 7 inversions evolved in a simulated genome. Some of the inversions mostly gained mutations that were important in adaptation through time, while other inversions that arose later in evolution mostly captured mutations that were important in adaptation.

This figure is from our "Modularity of local adaptation" paper. It illustrates how mutations in the lodgepole pine genome evolve in order to adapt to multivariate environmental pressures, such as aridity and freezing.

This figure is from our "Novel and disappearing climates in the global ocean" paper. A novel climate is a combination of conditions that is rare anywhere on earth today but will be common in the future. A disappearing climate is one that is common today, but will be rare in the future. Climate novelty and disappearance becomes more extreme as conditions become more different in the future than they are in the past.

This figure is from our Importance of Genetic Redundancy in Evolution paper. The term "genetic redundancy" has many meanings and uses, so we developed this conceptual figure to clarify the various uses.

This figure is from our review and synthesis on "Simulation tests of methods in evolution, ecology, and systematics". This figure shows that carefully designed evaluations of statistical methods on simulated data (data where the underlying truth is known) can influence the field and change the way science is done.

This figure is from our "Fluctuating Selection and Global Change" paper. In this conceptual figure, we illustrate how an experiment can be designed to determine how the amplitude and predictability of climate fluctuations interact to evolve phenotypic plasticity, and in turn, determine how a species responds to a novel climate.
