Most adaption processes have a polygenic genetic basis, but even with the recent explosive
growth of genomic data we are still lacking a unified framework describing the dynamics of …

Abstract The 2019 United Nations Global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystem
services estimated that approximately 1 million species are at risk of extinction. This …

In nature conservation, there is keen interest in predicting how populations will respond to
environmental changes such as climate change. These predictions can help determine …

Evolutionary theory has produced two conflicting paradigms for the adaptation of a
polygenic trait. While population genetics views adaptation as a sequence of selective …

The genomics revolution has sparked interest in using our increased understanding of the
loci involved in phenotypic variation and adaptation to advance the conservation of …

Molecular evolution offers an insightful theory to interpret the genomic consequences of
thermal adaptation to previous events of climate change beyond range shifts. However …

The ongoing increase in global temperature affects biodiversity, especially in mountain
regions where climate change is exacerbated. As sessile, long‐lived organisms, trees are …

The adaptation of populations to local environments often relies on the selection of optimal
values for polygenic traits. Here, we first summarize the results obtained from different …

Genomic data are becoming increasingly affordable and easy to collect, and new tools for
their analysis are appearing rapidly. Conservation biologists are interested in using this …

As boreal forests face significant threats from climate change, understanding evolutionary
trajectories of coniferous species has become fundamental to adapting management and …
