text: A key step in understanding the genetic basis of different evolutionary outcomes
(e.g., adaptation) is to determine the roles played by different mutation types
(e.g., SNPs, translocations and inversions). To do this we must simultaneously
consider different mutation types in an evolutionary framework. Here, we propose
a research framework that directly utilizes the most important characteristics
of mutations, their population genetic effects, to determine their relative evolutionary
significance in a given scenario. We review known population genetic effects of
different mutation types and show how these may be connected to different evolutionary
outcomes. We provide examples of how to implement this framework and pinpoint
areas where more data, theory and synthesis are needed. Linking experimental and
theoretical approaches to examine different mutation types simultaneously is a
critical step towards understanding their evolutionary significance.

text: "One of the most striking and consistent results in speciation genomics is
the heterogeneous divergence observed across the genomes of closely related species.
This pattern was initially attributed to different levels of gene exchange—with
divergence preserved at loci generating a barrier to gene flow but homogenized
at unlinked neutral loci. Although there is evidence to support this model, it
is now recognized that interpreting patterns of divergence across genomes is not
so straightforward. One \r\nproblem is that heterogenous divergence between populations
can also be generated by other processes (e.g. recurrent selective sweeps or background
selection) without any involvement of differential gene flow. Thus, integrated
studies that identify which loci are likely subject to divergent selection are
required to shed light on the interplay between selection and gene flow during
the early phases of speciation. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Rifkin et
al. (2019) confront this challenge using a pair of sister morning glory species.
They wisely design their sampling to take the geographic context of individuals
into account, including geographically isolated (allopatric) and co‐occurring
(sympatric) populations. This enabled them to show that individuals are phenotypically
less differentiated in sympatry. They also found that the loci that resist introgression
are enriched for those most differentiated in allopatry and loci that exhibit
signals of divergent selection. One great strength of the \r\nstudy is the combination
of methods from population genetics and molecular evolution, including the development
of a model to simultaneously infer admixture proportions and selfing rates."
