Many researchers have questioned the ability of biota to adapt to rapid anthropogenic
environmental shifts. Here, we synthesize emerging genomic evidence for rapid insect …

The island syndrome is a widespread biological phenomenon that describes a suite of
morphological, behavioural, demographic and life‐history changes associated with island …

Dispersal ability is known to influence geographical structuring of genetic variation within
species, with a direct relationship between low vagility and population genetic structure …

New Zealand alpine environments host a diverse assemblage of insect lineages, with
virtually every major insect group represented. The modern mountain ranges of New …

The origin and diversification process of lineages of organisms that are currently widely
distributed among continents is an interesting subject for exploring the evolutionary history …

Aim Temperature is one of the main drivers shaping species diversity and assembly
processes. Yet, site‐specific effects of the local microclimate on species and trait …

Aim The future of biodiversity in increasingly warmer mountains may be poorly predicted by
climate variation if dispersal affects ecological change. We assessed the influence of …

Enhanced attachment ability is common in plants on islands to avoid potential fatal passive
dispersal. However, whether island insects also have increased attachment ability remains …

Anthropogenic environmental change can underpin major shifts in natural selective regimes,
and can thus alter the evolutionary trajectories of wild populations. However, little is known …

As with most archipelagos, geography played a central role in the assembly and evolution of
the endemic-rich biological communities of the Gulf of Guinea oceanic islands. The islands …
