Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Species range limits involve many aspects of evolution and ecology, from species
distribution and abundance to the evolution of niches. Theory suggests myriad processes by …

Despite the numerous studies which have been conducted during the past decade on
species ranges and their relationship to the environment, our understanding of how …

There is growing interest in quantifying genetic population structure across the geographical
ranges of species to understand why species might exhibit stable range limits and to assess …

Climate is a potent selective force in natural populations, yet the importance of adaptation in
the response of plant species to past climate change has been questioned. As many species …

One of the main questions in ecosystem restoration is where to obtain the seeds to re-
establish plant communities. While the most commonly advocated approach is to use seeds …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …

The Torreya Guardians are trying to save the Florida torreya (Torreya taxifolia Arn.) from
