Theory generally predicts that host specialisation and dispersal should evolve jointly.
Indeed, many models predict that specialists should be poor dispersers to avoid landing on …

Background Quaternary climatic oscillations had dramatic effects on species evolution. In
northern latitudes, populations had to survive the coldest periods in refugial areas and …

Although climate change is currently affecting the distribution of many species, insects are
particularly impacted because of their high sensitivity to temperature. The pine …

Allochronic speciation refers to a mode of sympatric speciation in which the differentiation of
populations is primarily due to a phenological shift without habitat or host change. However …

We used a comparative phylogeographical approach to investigate the origins of the
disjunct wet forest biota of the Golfo Dulce region along the Pacific slope of Costa Rica. This …

A plausible case of allochronic differentiation, where barrier to gene flow is primarily
attributable to a phenological shift, was recently discovered in Portugal for the pine …

Abstract Aim Our goals were:(1) to investigate patterns of genetic variation in the French
Massif Central (MC) of Soldanella alpina (Primulaceae), an alpine plant species that has …

Tomicus piniperda is a common pest of pine trees responsible for significant economic
damage. Although the impact of T. piniperda on forestry is likely to increase in the future due …

A process of adaptive divergence for tolerance to high temperatures was identified using a
rare model system, consisting of two sympatric populations of a Lepidoptera (Thaumetopoea …

Biosecurity agencies need robust bioeconomic tools to help inform policy and allocate
scarce management resources. They need to estimate the potential for each invasive alien …
