In this study, we tested whether the Sharp-tailed Grouse Tympanuchus phasianellus
experienced rapid demographic expansion and shifts in its distribution from the Last Glacial …

Aim The centre‐periphery hypothesis (CPH) states that peripheral populations exhibit lower
genetic diversity, abundance and size, and higher differentiation compared to central …

Assessing the relative importance of geographical and environmental factors to the spatial
distribution of genetic variation can provide information about the processes that maintain …

Species abundance patterns are influenced by a myriad of factors, including habitat
availability and ecological niche characteristics. However, the evidence concerning the …

Aim A fundamental problem in evolutionary biology has been understanding the role of
environmental factors in the process of genetic diversification. Our main goal was to define …

A long-standing hypothesis in biogeography predicts that a species' abundance is highest at
the center of its geographical range and decreases toward its edges. In this study, we test …

Understanding the factors determining genetic diversity and structure in peripheral
populations is a long‐standing goal of evolutionary biogeography, yet little empirical …

The integration of genetic information with ecological and phenotypic data constitutes an
effective approach to gain insight into the mechanisms determining interpopulation …

Key message At the eastern range limit of silver fir, there is moderate population
differentiation in tolerance to frost damages. Differentiated management measures …

Elucidating the relative importance of landscape composition including habitat structure,
landscape features, and environmental factors can help prioritize management action for …
