The domestication of plants and animals over the past 11,500 years has had a significant
effect not just on the domesticated taxa but also on human evolution and on the biosphere …

Climate change in the past has led to significant changes in species' distributions. However,

The glacial episodes of the Quaternary (2.6 million years ago–present) were a major factor
in sha** the present-day distributions of extant flora and fauna, with expansions and …

The recent renaissance within animal geography has tended to focus on the spatial
orderings of animals by humans, rather than on the lived geographies and experiences of …

important for evolutionary processes, they are still poorly understood, especially in the case …

Zoonotic parasites are important causes of endemic and emerging human disease in
northern North America and Greenland (the North), where prevalence of some parasites is …

Conservation genetics focuses on understanding the role and requirement of genetic
variation for population persistence. However, considerable debate now surrounds the role …

How species respond to an increased availability of habitat, for example at the end of the
