Small, isolated populations are more vulnerable to natural disturbances and loss of genetic
diversity. Scots pine, an abundant tree species in the boreal forest of Eurasia, has a …

Metallic trace elements (MTEs) soil pollution has become a worldwide concern, particularly
regarding its impact on earthworms. Earthworms, which constitute the dominant taxon of soil …

Simple Summary A large number of amphibian species are now endangered, mostly
because of human activities. An example is land modification, which may bring species that …

Argopecten nucleus is a functional hermaphroditic pectinid species that exhibits self‐
fertilization, whose natural populations have usually very low densities. In the present study …

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) germplasm collections are increasingly appreciated as a
repository for the genetic improvement of species, and their genetic analysis is an essential …

Two migratory and endangered freshwater fish species, Salminus franciscanus and Brycon
orthotaenia, are endemic to one of the most important basins for hydropower capacity in …

Knowledge about population genetic structure and dispersal capabilities is important for the
development of targeted management strategies for agricultural pest species. The apple fruit …

A fine‐scale spatial genetic structure is rarely analysed within insect populations, although
such a structure influences the level of inbreeding and kin dynamics and can have …

Species conservation with fragmented and endangered populations must be based on a
prior and thorough knowledge of the structure and population dynamics. Oophaga lehmanni …

Background and Objectives: The contact zones of different refugial lineages, where mixing
of genetic backgrounds leads to new gene combinations or pre-adaptations, represent …
