Urbanization and associated environmental changes are causing global declines in
vertebrate populations. In general, population declines of the magnitudes now detected …

Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) have experienced dramatic declines in both range and
population size across Canada over the past century. Boreal caribou (R. t. caribou), 1 of the …

When gene flow has been restricted between populations, the genetic structure of such
species often reflects geohistory and climate changes. Populations of species inhabiting …

Episodes of Quaternary environmental change shaped the genomes of extant species,
influencing their response to contemporary environments, which are changing rapidly …

After decades, even centuries of persecution, large carnivore populations are widely
recovering in Europe. Considering the recent recovery of the wolverine (Gulo gulo) in …

Islands are generally colonized by few individuals which could lead to a founder effect
causing loss of genetic diversity and rapid divergence by strong genetic drift. Insular …

Feralization is the process of domesticated animals returning to the wild and it is considered
the counterpart of domestication. Molecular genetic changes are well documented in …

Understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes of invasive plants is a major goal
in ecology. Invasive plant species often exhibit intraspecific phenotypic clines along …

Both genetic drift and divergent selection are predicted to be drivers of population
differentiation across patchy habitats, but the extent to which these forces act on natural …

The coastal waters of Cuba are home to a small, endangered population of West Indian
manatee, which would benefit from a comprehensive characterization of the population's …
