As climate change continues, species pushed outside their physiological tolerance limits
must adapt or face extinction. When change is rapid, adaptation will largely harness …

Mitochondrial displacement loop (mt D-loop) sequence analyses have greatly improved
assessments of genetic diversity, structure, and population dynamics of endangered species …

Simple Summary Mites from the family Laelapidae are frequently associated with small
mammals, mainly rodents, and can be found on their body surface or in their nests …

Aim Many species experienced population turnover and local extinction during the Late
Pleistocene. In the case of megafauna, it remains challenging to disentangle climate change …

Aim Reconstructing species' glacial refugial history and demographic changes over time has
greatly relied on comparing inferences from multiple methods while not sufficiently …

Evidence for divergent selection and adaptive variation across the landscape can provide
insight into a species' ability to adapt to different environments. However, despite recent …

Females mainly increase their reproductive success by improving the quality of their mates
and need to be discriminative in their mate choices. Here, we investigate whether female …

The immune system is as much shaped by the pressure of pathogens as it is by evolutionary
trade-offs that constrain its structure and function. A perfect example comes from the major …

The most likely pathway for many species to survive future climate change is by pre-existing
trait variation providing a fitness advantage under the new climate. Here we evaluate the …

Phylogeographic studies have been conducted on many different mammal species in order
to track their recent demographic histories. The climatic fluctuations associated with the Last …
