Abstract Aim The Balkan Peninsula has served as source for the colonisation of large parts
of Europe after the Pleistocene, but the processes driving the intraspecific diversification …

Species often exhibit different levels of genetic structuring correlated to their environment.
However, understanding how environmental heterogeneity influences genetic variation is …

Aim Both gene flow and genetic drift can affect the genetic diversity of interacting
populations. However, the influence of the complex evolutionary histories of species may be …

Freshwater biodiversity undergoes degradation due to climate change. Researchers have
inferred the effects of climate change on neutral genetic diversity, assuming the fixed spatial …

Background Environmental heterogeneity continuously produces a selective pressure that
results in genomic variation among organisms; understanding this relationship remains a …

Background The adaptive divergence of Aedes aegypti populations to heterogeneous
environments can be a driving force behind the recent expansion of their habitat distribution …

Island populations have long been important for understanding the dynamics and
mechanisms of evolution in natural systems. While genetic drift is often strong on islands …

Stream dwelling invertebrates are ideal candidates for the study of ecological speciation as
they are often adapted to particular environmental conditions within a stream and inhabit …

Assessing direct fitness effects of individual genetic diversity is challenging due to the
intensive and long‐term data needed to quantify survival and reproduction in the wild. But …

Aim Fractal networks, represented by branching complexity in rivers, are ubiquitous in
nature. In rivers, the number of either distal (eg in headwater streams) or confluent (eg in …
