The extent of intraspecific genomic variation is key to understanding species evolutionary
history, including recent adaptive shifts. Intraspecific genomic variation remains poorly …

Dispersal is a key process mediating ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Its effects on the
dynamics of spatially structured systems, population genetics, and species range distribution …

The huge variety of species and worldwide distribution of ciliated protists in class
Spirotrichea continue to make it one of the most complicated and confused groups in …

Background Over the past decade, theory and observations have suggested intraspecific
variation, trait-based differences within species, as a buffer against biodiversity loss from …

Phenotypic plasticity, which involves phenotypic transformation in the absence of genetic
change, may serve as a strategy for organisms to survive in complex and highly fluctuating …

Predicting range expansion dynamics is an important goal of both fundamental and applied
research in conservation and global change biology. However, this is challenging if …

Understanding the mechanisms that generate genetic variation, and thus contribute to the
process of adaptation, is a major goal of evolutionary biology. Mutation and genetic …
