Aim High‐elevation specialist species are threatened by climate change and habitat loss,
and their distributions are becoming increasingly reduced and fragmented. In such a …

Many marsh passerines are cataloged as threatened taxa, mostly due to their high degree of
specialization and the generalized deterioration of wetlands worldwide. In this context …

Abstract Effects of climate warming on trophic cascades are increasingly reported for large
herbivores occupying northern latitudes. During the last 40 years, moose (Alces alces) in …

Species living in high mountain areas are currently threatened by climate change and
human land use changes. High‐elevation birds frequently inhabit island‐like suitable …

Divergent selection and local adaptation are responsible for many phenotypic differences
between populations, potentially leading to speciation through the evolution of reproductive …

While dispersal is the basis of inter‐population connectivity, it is difficult to directly observe.
New molecular techniques provide ways of studying the intensity and direction of dispersal …

In this study we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of a narrow-range Tibetan
endemic, Emberiza koslowi, to its congeners and shed some light on intraspecific lineage …

Biological invasions often threaten biodiversity, yet their ecological effects are unpredictable
and in some cases may be neutral. Assessing potential interactions between invasive and …

Invasive species often damage the ecosystems they colonise. But non-harmful biological
invasions also exist in nature, and understanding which biological invasions are …

Abstract Seaside Sparrows (Ammospiza maritima) are tidal salt marsh endemic passerines
found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America. Currently, there are 7 described …
