Understanding processes that limit species' ranges has been a core issue in ecology and
evolutionary biology for many decades, and has become increasingly important given the …

Models of local adaptation to spatially varying selection predict that maximum rates of
evolution are determined by the interaction between increased adaptive potential owing to …

Understanding where, when and how species' ranges will be modified is both a fundamental
problem and essential to predicting how spatio-temporal environmental changes in abiotic …

Range expansion requires peripheral populations to shift adaptive optima to breach range
boundaries. Opportunities for range expansion can be assessed by investigating the …

Locomotor activity is one of the major traits that is affected by age. Greater locomotor activity
is also known to evolve in the course of dispersal evolution. However, the manner in which …

Microorganisms are the most biodiverse life forms on our planet, yet we know little about the
spatial processes underlying their ecology and evolution. Here, we highlight the importance …

The fact that species have limited ranges is often due to a limited ability to adapt to the
environmental conditions that occur outside their geographic ranges. However, due to …

Species are considered rare when they are narrowly distributed, have a small number of
populations, or just a few individuals per population, as opposed to species that have a wide …
