According to recent empirical studies, reproductive senescence, the decline in reproductive
success with increasing age, seems to be nearly ubiquitous in the wild. However, a clear …

Abundant evidence supports the benefits accrued to the Florida panther (Puma concolor
coryi) population via the genetic introgression project implemented in South Florida, USA, in …

Landscape heterogeneity plays an integral role in shaping ecological and evolutionary
processes. Despite links between the two disciplines, ecologists and population geneticists …

Species that inhabit naturally fragmented environments are expected to be spatially
structured and exhibit reduced genetic diversity at the periphery of their range. Patterns of …

In sexually dimorphic and polygynous mammals, sexual selection often favours large males
with well-developed weaponry, as these secondary sexual characters confer advantages in …

Extra‐group paternity (EGP) occurs commonly among group‐living mammals and plays an
important role in mating systems and the dynamics of sexual selection; however, socio …

Evidence of inbreeding depression is commonly detected from the fitness traits of animals,
yet its effects on population growth rates of endangered species are rarely assessed. We …

To understand the mechanisms behind heterozygosity‐fitness correlations (HFC), it is
necessary to employ large numbers of markers with known function and independently …

The primary goal of captive breeding programmes for endangered species is to prevent
extinction, a component of which includes the preservation of genetic diversity and …

Predicting the geographic spread of wildlife epidemics requires knowledge about the
movement patterns of disease hosts or vectors. The field of landscape genetics provides …
