Landscape genomics is an emerging research field that aims to identify the environmental
factors that shape adaptive genetic variation and the gene variants that drive local …

The analysis of polymorphism data is becoming increasingly important as a complementary
tool to classical genetic analyses. Nevertheless, despite plunging sequencing costs …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

Between the 1930s and 50s, evolutionary biologists developed a successful theory of why
organisms age, firmly rooted in population genetic principles. By the 1980s the evolution of …

Summary Publication of The Genetics of Colonizing Species in 1965 launched the field of
invasion genetics and highlighted the value of biological invasions as natural ecological and …

Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Comparing allele frequencies among populations that differ in environment has long been a
tool for detecting loci involved in local adaptation. However, such analyses are complicated …

Estimating the rate of exchange of individuals among populations is a central concern to
evolutionary ecology and its applications to conservation and management. For instance …

Life-history traits or “fitness components”—such as age and size at maturity, fecundity and
fertility, age-specific rates of survival, and life span—are the major phenotypic determinants …

The mechanisms that control the sizes of a body and its many parts remain among the great
puzzles in developmental biology. Why do animals grow to a species‐specific body size …
