The cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis,
a fatal zoonotic parasitic disease of the northern hemisphere. Red foxes are the main …

Disentangling the contribution of long‐term evolutionary processes and recent
anthropogenic impacts to current genetic patterns of wildlife species is key to assessing …

Glacial and interglacial periods throughout the Pleistocene have been substantial drivers of
change in species distributions. Earlier analyses suggested that modern grey wolves (Canis …

Population-genomic studies can shed new light on the effect of past demographic processes
on contemporary population structure. We reassessed phylogeographical patterns of a …

The present phylogeographic pattern of red deer in Eurasia is not only a result of the
contraction of their distribution range into glacial refugia and postglacial expansion, but …

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of the species
complex Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. Within this complex, genotypes G6 and G7 …

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a severe parasitic disease caused by the species complex
Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. Human infections are most commonly associated with …

The evolutionary relationships between extinct and extant lineages provide important insight
into species' response to environmental change. The grey wolf is among the few Holarctic …

Pakistan is a neglected endemic focus for Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato, a zoonotic
parasite species complex with the ability to infect wide spectrum of hosts. Wide gaps exist in …

The great auk was once abundant and distributed across the North Atlantic. It is now extinct,
having been heavily exploited for its eggs, meat, and feathers. We investigated the impact of …
