The drivers of variability in species range sizes remain an outstanding enigma in ecology.
The theoretical expectation of a positive dispersal‐range size relationship has received …

Seasonal migration is intrinsically connected to the balance of survival and reproduction, but
whether migratory behavior influences species' position on the slow-fast continuum of life …

Pleistocene climate cycles are well documented to have shaped contemporary species
distributions and genetic diversity. Northward range expansions in response to deglaciation …

Animals that engage in long-distance seasonal migration experience strong selective
pressures on their metabolic performance and life history, with potential consequences for …

Understanding how species attain their geographical distributions and identifying traits
correlated with range size are important objectives in biogeography, evolutionary biology …

Island biogeography theory provides key insights into biodiversity patterns across islands
species–area relationships and conservation. However, classical island biogeography …

In efforts to prevent extinction, resource managers are often tasked with increasing genetic
diversity in a population of concern to prevent inbreeding depression or improve adaptive …

The genus Anax is a group of cosmopolitan dragonflies noted for its conspicuous migratory
behaviours and large size. Here we present the first dated, species-level, multigene …

Anthropogenic climate change will dramatically alter species distributions. The rate and
magnitude of range shifts, however, will differ among taxa, resulting in altered patterns of co …

Modern genomic methods enable estimation of a lineage's long-term effective population
sizes back to its origins. This ability allows unprecedented opportunities to determine how …
