Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been the workhorse of research in phylogeography for
almost two decades. However, concerns with basing evolutionary interpretations on mtDNA …

Museums and other natural history collections (NHC) worldwide house millions of
specimens. With the advent of molecular genetic approaches these collections have …

The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the number of studies dealing with the genetic
consequences of habitat fragmentation, in large part because of the increasing accessibility …

Each year, hundreds of thousands of domesticated farmed Atlantic salmon escape into the
wild. In Norway, which is the world's largest commercial producer, many native Atlantic …

Populations of endangered taxa in recently fragmented habitats often show high levels of
genetic structure, but the role that contemporary versus historical processes play in …

Natural history collections are unparalleled repositories of geographical and temporal
variation in faunal conditions. Molecular studies offer an opportunity to uncover much of this …

Analyses of historical samples can provide invaluable information on changes to the genetic
composition of natural populations resulting from human activities. Here, we analyse 21 …

Ancient DNA analyses of historical, archaeological and paleontological remains can
contribute important information for the conservation of populations and species that cannot …

Massive defaunation and high extinction rates have become characteristic of the
Anthropocene. Genetic effects of population decline can lead populations into an extinction …

We evaluated how differences between two empirical resistance models for the same
geographic area affected predictions of gene flow processes and genetic diversity for the …
