All life forms across the globe are experiencing drastic changes in environmental conditions
as a result of global climate change. These environmental changes are happening rapidly …

Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive
evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence. Uncovering the …

Deep knowledge of crop biodiversity is essential to improving global food security. Despite
bread wheat serving as a keystone crop worldwide, the population history of bread wheat …

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 …

Rapid global climate change is posing a substantial threat to biodiversity. The assessment of
population vulnerability and adaptive capacity under climate change is crucial for informing …

In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

Abstract Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, events are widespread and
significant in the evolutionary history of angiosperms. However, empirical evidence for …

A major challenge in modern biology is to understand extinction risk from climate change
across all realms. Recent research has revealed that physiological tolerance, behavioral …

Aquatic ectotherms are predicted to harbour genomic signals of local adaptation resulting
from selective pressures driven by the strong influence of climate conditions on body …

Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterium that infects crops like grapevines, coffee, almonds, citrus
and olives. There is little understanding of the genes that contribute to plant resistance, the …
