Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is an important
and widely used tool for conservation assessment. The IUCN uses information about a …

Charles Darwin presented a unified process of diversification driven by the gradual
accumulation of heritable variation. The growth in DNA databases and the increase in …

Despite evidence of declining biosphere integrity, we currently lack understanding of how
the functional diversity associated with changes in abundance among ecological …

Sea turtles represent an ancient lineage of marine vertebrates that evolved from terrestrial
ancestors over 100 Mya. The genomic basis of the unique physiological and ecological traits …

Small populations are vulnerable to increased genetic load and drift that can lead to
reductions in fitness and adaptive potential. By analyzing 66 individual whole genomes of …

In humans and other mammals, germline mutations are more likely to arise in fathers than in
mothers. Although this sex bias has long been attributed to DNA replication errors in …

Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide
range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real‐time effects into their long‐term …

Landscape‐scale conservation that considers metapopulation dynamics will be essential for
preventing declines of species facing multiple threats to their survival. Toward this end, we …

The iconic Cape buffalo has experienced several documented population declines in recent
history. These declines have been largely attributed to the late 19th century rinderpest …

Background Ecological and genomic attributes of populations can provide two orthologous
perspectives on the biological profiles associated with local adaptation. The ability of …
