Global climate changes during the Quaternary reveal much about broader evolutionary
effects of environmental change. Detailed regional studies reveal how evolutionary lineages …

The problem of how and when the island of Ireland attained its contemporary fauna has
remained a key question in understanding Quaternary faunal assemblages. We assessed …

Biological invasions are one of the great threats to Earth's ecosystems and biodiversity in the
Anthropocene. However, species introductions and invasions extend deep into the human …

Aim Understanding the drivers of species distribution ranges and population genetic

Henipaviruses are zoonotic viruses, including some highly pathogenic and capable of
serious disease and high fatality rates in both animals and humans. Hendra virus and Nipah …

Carnivores tend to exhibit a lack of (or less pronounced) genetic structure at continental
scales in both a geographic and temporal sense and this can confound the identification of …

The common vole (Microtus arvalis) has been a model species of small mammal for studying
end-glacial colonization history. In the present study we expanded the sampling from central …

Aim We documented how the similarity of mammal assemblages on continental and oceanic
islands has changed since initial human colonization, since European arrival and overall …

The origins of flora and fauna that are only found in Ireland and Iberia, but which are absent
from intervening countries, is one of the enduring questions of biogeography. As Southern …

Although the phylogeography of European mammals has been extensively investigated
since the 1990s, many studies were limited in terms of sampling distribution, the number of …
