Integrative and proactive conservation approaches are critical to the long-term persistence
of biodiversity. Molecular data can provide important information on evolutionary processes …

Unprecedented advances in sequencing technology in the past decade allow a better
understanding of genetic variation and its partitioning in natural populations. Such inference …

In endangered species, low-genetic variation and inbreeding result from recent population
declines. Genetic screenings in endangered populations help to assess their vulnerability to …

Introgressive hybridization can pose a serious threat to endangered species which have an
overlapping distribution such as in the case of two polecat species, Mustela eversmanii and …

Landscape genetics is increasingly transitioning away from microsatellites, with single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) providing increased resolution for detecting patterns of …

Critical thermal limits (CTmax and CTmin) decrease with elevation, with greater change in
CTmin, and the risk to suffer heat and cold stress increasing at the gradient ends. A central …

The negative genetic impacts of gene flow from domestic to wild populations can be
dependent on the degree of domestication and exacerbated by the magnitude of pre …

Plant populations distributed along broad latitudinal gradients often show patterns of clinal
variation in genotype and phenotype. Differences in photoperiod and temperature cues …

Abstract Background and Aims Contemporary patterns of genetic admixture reflect imprints
of both ancient and recent gene flow, which can provide us with valuable information on …

Hybridization between the European smooth and palmate newts has recurrently been
mentioned in the literature. The only two studies that attempted to quantify the frequency of …
