An understanding of population structure and connectivity at multiple spatial scales is
required to assist wildlife conservation and management. This is particularly critical for …

The potentially significant genetic consequences associated with the loss of migratory
capacity of diadromous fishes that have become landlocked in freshwater are poorly …

Anthropogenic environmental change can underpin major shifts in natural selective regimes,
and can thus alter the evolutionary trajectories of wild populations. However, little is known …

The origin and patterns of species diversity are fundamental themes in ecology and
evolutionary biology. Insular systems play an important role in biogeography, and the …

Since Darwin put forward his opposing hypotheses to explain the successful establishment
of species in areas outside their native ranges, the preadaptation and competition …

Many have noted limited seed dispersal of plants in diverse environments and attempted
evolutionary explanations for it. Although philopatric (“love of fatherland”) is used by …

Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands include some of the world's most extreme and
pristine terrestrial habitats. While they are characterized by low biodiversity and terrestrial …

Polymorphic species are useful models for investigating the evolutionary processes driving
diversification. Such processes include colonization history as well as contemporary …

Aim A reduction in dispersal ability has been thought to be a general trend for island land
birds. However, recent studies have indicated that long‐distance dispersal among island …

Despite a long history of research since Darwin, the mechanism underlying rapid adaptive
radiation remains poorly understood. All theories constructed to date require special …
