Signals of local adaptation have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the
heterogeneity in the distribution of adaptive genetic variation throughout species ranges. In …

Climate change is a threat to biodiversity. One way that this threat manifests is through
pronounced shifts in the geographical range of species over time. To predict these shifts …

Anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change are reducing species' geographic ranges,
increasing extinction risk and losses of species' genetic diversity. Although preserving …

Under climate change, species unable to track their niche via range shifts are largely reliant
on genetic variation to adapt and persist. Genomic vulnerability predictions are used to …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

Copy number variation (CNV) can drive rapid evolution in changing environments. In
microbial pathogens, such adaptation is a key factor underpinning epidemics and …

Through the lens of evolution, climate change is an agent of natural selection that forces
populations to change and adapt, or face extinction. However, current assessments of the …

In nature conservation, there is keen interest in predicting how populations will respond to
environmental changes such as climate change. These predictions can help determine …

Species distribution modelling (SDM), also called environmental or ecological niche
modelling, has developed over the last 30 years as a widely used tool used in core areas of …

Closely related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments.
However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential and …
