The extent to which evolution is repeatable remains debated. Here, we study changes over time in the frequency of cryptic color-pattern morphs 10 replicate long-term field studies a stick insect, each spanning at least decade (across 30 years total data). We find predictable "up-and-down" fluctuations stripe all populations, representing evolutionary dynamics based on standing genetic variation. A experiment demonstrates that these involve negative frequency-dependent natural selection (NFDS). These rely demographic and selective variability pushes populations away from equilibrium, such they can reliably move back toward it via NFDS. Last, show origin new forms associated with multiple structural genomic variants mutations arise affects larger temporal scales. Thus, existing variation repeatable, but mutation adds complexity even for traits evolving deterministically under selection.

Supergenes can evolve when recombination-suppressing mechanisms like inversions promote co-inheritance of alleles at two or more polymorphic loci that affect a complex trait. Theory shows such genetic architectures be favoured under balancing selection local adaptation in the face gene flow, but they also bring costs associated with reduced opportunities for recombination. These may turn offset by rare ‘gene flux’ between inverted and ancestral haplotypes, range possible outcomes. We aimed to shed light on these processes investigating BC supergene, large genomic region comprising multiple rearrangements three distinct wing colour morphs Danaus chrysippus , butterfly known as African monarch, queen plain tiger. Using whole-genome resequencing data from 174 individuals, we first confirm effects pattern: background melanism is SNPs promoter yellow within an subregion while forewing tip pattern most likely copy-number variation separate supergene. then show haplotype diversity supergene surprisingly extensive: there are least six divergent groups experience suppressed recombination respect each other. Despite high divergence groups, identify unexpectedly number natural recombinant haplotypes. Several inferred crossovers occurred adjacent inversion ‘modules’, others inversions. Furthermore, new have arisen through pre-existing ones. Specifically, allele dark colouration has recombined into backgrounds occasions.

The field of evolutionary and speciation genomics has been revolutionised by the ubiquity availability genomic data even for non-model organisms. capability to sequence long-fragment DNA particularly spurred trans-national initiatives generate publicly available chromosome-resolved reference genomes across Tree Life. Initiatives such as Darwin Life (The Project Consortium et al. 2022) or European Genome Atlas (ERGA; Mazzoni, Ciofi, Waterhouse 2023) enable researchers around globe address unresolved questions pursue novel lines research. role chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) in driving evolution a long-standing question biology (Berdan 2023; Dobzhansky Sturtevant 1938; King 1995; Robertson 1916; Wellenreuther Bernatchez 2018; White 1978). CRs comprise an array that reorganise linear genome, ranging from local structural variants (SVs) inversions duplications, large-scale karyological changes, including fusions fissions Lucek 2023). Current have already highlighted are much more common diverse taxa than previously thought (e.g., Damas 2022; Weissensteiner 2020). While can now easily be mapped within taxa, their potential species diversification often remained enigmatic, theoretical explorations exist only few types CR At dawn broad genome model organisms alike, our special issue aims provide update on impact various CRs. Specifically, asks what causes establishment whether these differ among taxa? Are randomly distributed do they cause other rearrangements? How promote how potentially lead speciation? Is same different CRs? Finally, depending autosomes sex chromosomes involved? Whether directly indirectly involved adaptation diversification, detecting them understanding factors influencing appearance first place key start shedding light processes linked Traditionally, were detected either directly, with cytogenetic screenings (Krimbas Powell 1992; Stebbins 1971; 1973), indirectly, looking at consequences 1938). However, resolution techniques and/or limitation cross-species comparisons restricted study evolution. In this issue, several contributions successfully used chromosome-level assemblies long-read sequencing analyse range systems scales. Focusing holocentric sedges genus Carex, Escudero (2023) estimated overall high rate genus. Using dual approach, authors then combined linkage maps identify between species, later refine using Carex outgroup define conserved rearranged regions. Interestingly, despite rates chromosome fission fusion, longer expected syntenic blocks species. Comparing distribution transposable elements (TEs) genes two regions, further showed regions correlate gene dense areas, while TEs, pointing hotspots reshuffling.

Abstract Recombination suppression often evolves in sex chromosomes and around mating-type loci. In the invasive chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Ascomycota), a genomic region was previously suggested to lack recombination be partially linked (MAT) locus based on analysis of few progenies. Using hundreds available C. genomes generating several new high-quality genome assemblies from native introduced range pathogen, we show that ca. 1.2 Mb proximal lacks worldwide. populations, this MAT-proximal displayed two highly differentiated haplotypes, were strongly associated mating types, but not completely. High-quality revealed an inversion one haplotypes footprints degeneration worldwide, being enriched gene disruptions, non-synonymous substitutions transposable elements both haplotypes. The divergence between estimated have occurred at least 1.5 million years ago segregate all continents, including range. High differentiation their occurrence different balanced frequencies within rearrangements altogether suggest ancient maintained by selection. MAT-Proximal carries multiple genes upregulated under virus infection or vegetative incompatibility reaction. This study sheds light case large non-recombining compatibility locus, balancing selection maintaining possibly involving deleterious mutations and/or host adaptation devastating tree pathogen.
