A great challenge for ecology in the coming decades is to understand the role humans play
in eco-evolutionary dynamics. If, as emerging evidence shows, rapid evolutionary change …

Across a range of organisms, related species or even populations of the same species
exhibit strikingly different scales and patterns of movement. A significant proportion of the …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

The large body of theory on speciation with gene flow has brought to light fundamental
differences in the effects of two types of mating rules on speciation: preference/trait rules, in …

Species are the fundamental units of biology, ecology and conservation, and progress in
these fields is therefore hampered by widespread taxonomic bias and uncertainty …

We used extensive data from a long-term study of great tits (Parus major) in the United
Kingdom and Netherlands to better understand how genetic signatures of selection translate …

At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …

Evolution is happening all around us. In many cases–lately, due to technological advances
in molecular biology–scientists can now describe the evolutionary process in exquisite …

Due to our intensive subsistence and habitat-modification strategies—including broad-
spectrum harvesting and predation, widespread landscape burning, settlement construction …
