Repeated evolution on oceanic islands: comparative genomics reveals species-specific processes in birds by María Recuerda, Julio César Hernández Montoya, Guillermo Blanco, Borja Milá

“…Abstract Understanding the interplay between genetic drift, natural selection, gene flow, and demographic history in driving phenotypic and genomic differentiation of insular populations can help us gain insight into the speciation process. Comparing patterns across different insular taxa subjected to similar selective pressures upon colonizing oceanic islands provides the opportunity to study repeated evolution and identify shared patterns in their genomic landscapes of differentiation. …”

THE MONETARY POLICY IN COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE IN THE GLOBALIZATION CONTEXT: REGIMES AND TOOLS by M. YU. Golovnin

“…The evolution of monetary policy regimes in the CEE countries corresponds to the “bipolar pattern”. It is shown that countries with the extreme form of the exchange rate fixation demonstrate the best results in quiescent periods and are more affected by crises whereas countries with the inflation targeting regime are characterized by smoothed dynamics of macroeconomic indices. …”
