Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Species distribution models (SDMs) use spatial environmental data to make inferences on
species' range limits and habitat suitability. Conceptually, these models aim to determine …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Species range limits involve many aspects of evolution and ecology, from species
distribution and abundance to the evolution of niches. Theory suggests myriad processes by …

Ecological changes in the phenology and distribution of plants and animals are occurring in
all well-studied marine, freshwater, and terrestrial groups. These observed changes are …

▪ Abstract Contributions from the field of population biology hold promise for understanding
and managing invasiveness; invasive species also offer excellent opportunities to study …

There is growing interest in quantifying genetic population structure across the geographical
ranges of species to understand why species might exhibit stable range limits and to assess …

No species occurs everywhere. Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where
they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these …

Gene flow from the center of a species' range can stymie adaptation at the periphery and
prevent the range from expanding outward. We study this process using simple models that …

This book provides a modern, synthetic overview of interactions between insects and their
environments from a physiological perspective that integrates information across a range of …
