Mitochondria are key to energy conversion in virtually all eukaryotes. Intriguingly, despite
billions of years of evolution inside the eukaryote, mitochondria have retained their own …

Information or entropy analysis of diversity is used extensively in community ecology, and
has recently been exploited for prediction and analysis in molecular ecology and evolution …

Climate change and increasing habitat loss greatly impact species survival, requiring range
shifts, phenotypic plasticity and/or evolutionary change for long‐term persistence, which may …

Authentic DNA sequences are crucial for reliable evolutionary inference. Concerns about
the identification of DNA sequences have been voiced several times in the past but few …

Few invasive birds are as globally successful as the Common or European Starling (Sturnus
vulgaris). Native to the Palearctic, the starling has been intentionally introduced to North and …

In animals, interactions among gene products of mitochondrial and nuclear genomes
(mitonuclear interactions) are of profound fitness, evolutionary, and ecological significance …

Populations of invasive species that colonize and spread in novel environments may
differentiate both through demographic processes and local selection. European starlings …

Diet may be modified seasonally or by biogeographic, demographic or cultural shifts. It can
differentially influence mitochondrial bioenergetics, retrograde signalling to the nuclear …

The concept of invasion is useful across a broad range of contexts, spanning from the fine
scale landscape of cancer tumors up to the broader landscape of ecosystems. Invasion …

A detailed understanding of population genetics in invasive populations helps us to identify
drivers of successful alien introductions. Here, we investigate putative signals of selection in …
