Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Heredity publishes research on the genetic basis of traits and evolutionary processes across a wide range of organisms. Recent articles focus on genome assembly and annotation for various species, including fish, insects, mammals, and plants, often with applications in conservation biology and understanding adaptation. Studies also investigate genetic diversity, population structure, hybridization, and the role of gene flow in shaping evolutionary trajectories and ecological interactions.
