Environmental change can expose populations to unfamiliar stressors, and maladaptive
responses to those stressors may result in population declines or extirpation. Although gene …

Gene flow between phenotypically divergent populations can disrupt local adaptation or,
alternatively, may stimulate adaptive evolution by increasing genetic variation. We …

As climate change advances, environmental gradients may decouple, generating novel
multivariate environments that stress wild populations. A commonly invoked mechanism of …

Gene flow can have rapid effects on adaptation and is an important evolutionary tool
available when undertaking biological conservation and restoration. This tool is underused …

Phenotypic plasticity buffers organisms from environmental change and is hypothesized to
aid the initial establishment of nonindigenous species in novel environments and …

The notorious plasticity of gene expression responses and the complexity of environmental
gradients complicate the identification of adaptive differences in gene regulation among …

In dendritic river systems, gene flow is expected to occur primarily within watersheds. Yet,
rare cross‐watershed transfers can also occur, whether mediated by (often historical) …

Understanding whether populations can adapt to new environmental conditions is a major
issue in conservation and evolutionary biology. Aquatic organisms are increasingly exposed …

Understanding how gene flow influences adaptive divergence is important for predicting
adaptive responses. Theoretical studies suggest that when gene flow is high, clustering of …

Populations that are adaptively divergent but maintain high gene flow may have greater
resilience to environmental change as gene flow allows the spread of alleles that have …
