[HTML][HTML] Demographic history and genomic consequences of 10,000 generations of isolation in a wild mammal
Increased human activities caused the isolation of populations in many species—often
associated with genetic depletion and negative fitness effects. The effects of isolation are …

Disruptive selection and the evolution of discrete color morphs in Timema stick insects
A major unresolved issue in biology is why phenotypic and genetic variation is sometimes
continuous, yet other times packaged into discrete units of diversity, such as morphs …

Lack of phenological shift leads to increased camouflage mismatch in mountain hares
Understanding whether organisms will be able to adapt to human-induced stressors
currently endangering their existence is an urgent priority. Globally, multiple species moult …
