Signals of local adaptation have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the
heterogeneity in the distribution of adaptive genetic variation throughout species ranges. In …

Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Under climate change, species unable to track their niche via range shifts are largely reliant
on genetic variation to adapt and persist. Genomic vulnerability predictions are used to …

Distribution of tree species is a function of climatic (such as temperature and precipitation)
and topographic (such as altitude, slope, and exposure) parameters. It is thought that any …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Maintaining coral reef ecosystems is a social imperative, because so many people depend
on coral reefs for food production, shoreline protection, and livelihoods. The survival of reefs …

Major ecological realignments are already occurring in response to climate change. To be
successful, conservation strategies now need to account for geographical patterns in traits …

Divergent selection across the landscape can favor the evolution of local adaptation in
populations experiencing contrasting conditions. Local adaptation is widely observed in a …

Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swamping, where the rare
form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swamping, where population growth rates …

BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …
