Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

Owing to advances in genome sequencing, genome stability has become one of the most
scrutinized cellular traits across the Tree of Life. Despite its centrality to all things biological …

Anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change are reducing species' geographic ranges,
increasing extinction risk and losses of species' genetic diversity. Although preserving …

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 …

The increasing availability of genomic resequencing data sets and high-quality reference
genomes across the tree of life present exciting opportunities for comparative population …

Migration is typically associated with risk and uncertainty at the population level, but little is
known about its cost–benefit trade‐offs at the species level. Migratory insects in particular …

We discuss the genetic, demographic, and selective forces that are likely to be at play in
restricting observed levels of DNA sequence variation in natural populations to a much …

Mutation is the ultimate source of all genetic variation, and over the last 10 years the ready
availability of whole-genome sequencing has permitted direct estimation of mutation rate for …

Sexual reproduction involving meiosis is essential in most eukaryotes. This produces
offspring with novel genotypes, both by segregation of parental chromosomes as well as …

Half a century after its foundation, the neutral theory of molecular evolution continues to
attract controversy. The debate has been hampered by the coexistence of different …
