Genetic time‐series data from historical samples greatly facilitate inference of past
population dynamics and species evolution. Yet, although climate and landscape change …

An accurate and stable alpha taxonomy requires a clear conception of what constitutes a
species and agreed criteria for delimiting different species. An evolutionary or general …

The leopard's (Panthera pardus) broad geographic range, remarkable adaptability, and
secretive nature have contributed to a misconception that this species might not be severely …

Lions are one of the world's most iconic megafauna, yet little is known about their temporal
and spatial demographic history and population differentiation. We analyzed a genomic …

Conservation translocations have become an important management tool, particularly for
large wildlife species such as the lion (Panthera leo). When planning translocations, the …

The dynamics of ecosystem collapse are fundamental to determining how and why
biological communities change through time, as well as the potential effects of extinctions on …

Comparative phylogeography of African savannah mammals shows a congruent pattern in
which populations in West/Central Africa are distinct from populations in East/Southern …

Increasing globalization has promoted the spread of exotic species, including disease
vectors. Understanding the evolutionary processes involved in such colonizations is both of …

Asiatic lions typify most challenges faced by large carnivores: single population, historical
bottlenecks, habitat loss, poaching, and conflict with humans. Their recovery from< 50 in a …

Population fragmentation is threatening biodiversity worldwide. Species that once roamed
vast areas are increasingly being conserved in small, isolated areas. Modern management …
