Population genomics is advancing our understanding of evolution, ecology, conservation,
agriculture, forestry, and human health by allowing new and long-standing questions to be …

Gray seals were historically distributed along the northeastern coast of the United States, but
bounties and lack of protection reduced numbers and they were rarely observed for most of …

Introduced and geographically expanding populations experience similar eco‐evolutionary
challenges, including founder events, genetic bottlenecks, and novel environments. Theory …

Like many carnivore species, European wildcats (Felis silvestris) have suffered severe
anthropogenic population declines in the past, resulting in a strong population bottleneck at …

Unravelling the history of range shifts is key for understanding past, current and future
species distributions. Anthropogenic transport of species alters natural dispersal patterns …

Individual variation in quantitative traits clearly influence many ecological and evolutionary
processes. Moderate to high heritability estimates of personality and life-history traits …

The harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) is the most widely distributed pinniped, occupying a wide
variety of habitats and climatic zones across the Northern Hemisphere. Intriguingly, the …

Coalescent methods in population genetics aim to detect biodiversity patterns, evolutionary
mechanisms, and signatures of historical changes in effective population sizes with respect …

Species inhabiting marine environments face a wide range of environmental conditions that
vary spatially across several orders of magnitude. The selective pressures that these …

Differences in disease susceptibility among species can result from rapid host–pathogen
coevolution and differences in host species ecology that affect the strength and direction of …
