Hybridization, or interbreeding between different taxa, was traditionally considered to be
rare and to have a largely detrimental impact on biodiversity, sometimes leading to the …

The current rapid climate change and human-induced alteration of landscapes and animal
communities have led to range expansions in numerous species, raising concerns about …

Rapid evolution in colonising populations can alter our ability to predict future range
expansions. Recent theory suggests that the dynamics of replicate range expansions are …

Scots pine is the foundation species of diverse forested ecosystems across Eurasia and
displays remarkable ecological breadth, occurring in environments ranging from temperate …

Adaptive evolution following colonization can affect the impact of invasive species. The fall
webworm (FWW) invaded China 40 years ago through a single introduction event involving …

Studying range expansions is central for understanding genetic variation through space and
time as well as for identifying refugia and biological invasions. Range expansions are …

Distinguishing between environmental adaptations and neutral processes poses a
challenge in population genetics and evolutionary studies, particularly when phenomena …

Many species are shifting their ranges in response to climate‐driven environmental
changes, particularly in high‐latitude regions. However, the patterns of dispersal and …

Thermal environments vary widely across species ranges, establishing the potential for local
adaptation of thermal performance optima and tolerance. In the absence of local adaptation …

The southern coast of Africa is one of the few places in the world where water temperatures
are predicted to cool in the future. This endemism-rich coastline is home to two sister …
