Anthropogenic environmental changes continue to threaten species globally. On the one
hand, anthropogenic movement of species has caused unintentional hybridisation, which …

Assisted colonisation, the introduction of species beyond their historical range, is
increasingly necessary for conserving species. However, empirical evidence of the long …

Human activities alter patterns of biodiversity, particularly through species extinctions and
range shifts. Two of these activities are human mediated transfer of species and …

Newly established populations are susceptible to founder events that reduce genetic
variation. This may be counterbalanced by gene flow after populations become established …

The fitness of hybrids is a critical determinant of gene flow between hybridizing populations.
If hybrid phenotypes change predictably as parental populations become increasingly …

Hybridization is the process of interbreeding between distinct genomic lineages.
Environmental disturbances have been associated with increased hybridization between …

The artificial movement of individuals between populations (translocation) can be an
effective way to increase genetic diversity within populations, but few studies have …

Despite deep evolutionary conservation, recombination rates vary greatly across the
genome and among individuals, sexes and populations. Yet the impact of this variation on …

Populations of obligately estuarine taxa are potentially small and isolated and may lack
genetic variation and display regional differentiation as a result of drift and inbreeding …

Inbreeding depression strongly affects the biological fitness of organisms throughout their
life cycle. These negative effects are more pronounced in species with low dispersal …
