The glacial cycles of the Quaternary heavily impacted species through successions of
population contractions and expansions. Similarly, populations have been intensely shaped …

The influence of genetic drift on population dynamics during Pleistocene glacial cycles is
well understood, but the role of selection in shaping patterns of genomic variation during …

Overharvest can severely reduce the abundance and distribution of a species and thereby
impact its genetic diversity and threaten its future viability. Overharvest remains an ongoing …

Species that evolved in temperate regions during the Pleistocene experienced periods of
extreme climatic transitions. Consequent population fragmentation and dynamics had the …

Hybridization is a natural process at species‐range boundaries that may variably promote
the speciation process or break down species barriers but minimally will influence …

The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) represents one of the most successful and
widely distributed large mammal species within North America, yet very little nucleotide …

Quaternary climatic oscillations greatly influenced the present‐day population genetic
structure of animals and plants. For species with high dispersal and reproductive potential …

Approximately 100 years ago, unregulated harvest nearly eliminated white‐tailed deer
(Odocoileus virginianus) from eastern North America, which subsequently served to catalyze …

The trajectories of postglacial range expansions, the occurrence of lineage patches and the
formation and maintenance of secondary contact between lineages may mostly reflect …

Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are an excellent nonmodel species for empirically testing
hypotheses in landscape and population genomics due to their large population sizes (low …
