An understanding of patterns of climatic niche evolution has important implications for
ecological and evolutionary theory and conservation planning. However, despite …

Background A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the evolution of
phenotypic diversity. Both natural and sexual selection play a large role in generating …

Land‐use and climate change are major pressures on terrestrial biodiversity. Species'
extinction risk and responses to human pressures relate to ecological traits and other …

Macroclimatic niches are indirect and potentially inadequate predictors of the realized
environmental conditions that many species experience. Consequently, analyses of niche …

In this study we combine information from landscape characteristics, demographic inference
and species distribution modelling to identify environmental factors that shape the genetic …

Background Amphibians are sensitive indicators of environmental conditions and show
measurable responses, such as changes in phenology, abundance and range limits to local …

Understanding how biodiversity components are related under different environmental
factors is a fundamental challenge for ecology studies, yet there is little knowledge of this …

Evolutionary theory should ideally specify the necessary and sufficient determinants of the
convergent and divergent patterns that have evolved in subterranean mammals (ie …

The genomic era revolutionized evolutionary biology. The enigma of genotypic-phenotypic
diversity and biodiversity evolution of genes, genomes, phenomes, and biomes, reviewed …

Plethodontid salamanders have become model organisms for studying many fundamental
questions in evolutionary biology, ecology, and behavior. Dozens of studies focused on …
