Hybridization between naturally co-occurring species that normally do not interbreed is
being documented following anthropogenic habitat modifications for an increasing number …

The emergence of DNA analyses of lake sediments has opened up many new areas of
inquiry, including the study of taxa that were traditionally not considered in paleolimnology …

Human impact is noticeable around the globe, indicating that a new era might have begun:

Background Genetically divergent cryptic species are frequently detected by molecular
methods. These discoveries are often a byproduct of molecular barcoding studies in which …

The strength of reproductive isolation (RI) between two or more lineages during the process
of speciation can vary by the ecological conditions. However, most speciation research has …

Biological invasions exert multiple pervasive effects on ecosystems, potentially disrupting
species interactions and global ecological processes. Our ability to successfully predict and …

In the post-genomic era, much of phylogenetic analyses still relies on mitochondrial DNA,
either alone or in combination with few nuclear genes. Although this approach often makes it …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is currently developing as a powerful tool for assessing aquatic
species dynamics. However, its utility as an assessment tool for quantification remain under …

Exploring the capability of organisms to cope with human-caused environmental change is
crucial for assessing the risk of extinction and biodiversity loss. We study the consequences …

Cladocerans are well-studied planktonic crustaceans, especially those of the genus
