Alleles that introgress between species can influence the evolutionary and ecological fate of
species exposed to novel environments. Hybrid offspring of different species are often unfit …

Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges …

Genetic admixture of divergent intraspecific lineages is increasingly suspected to have an
important role in the success of colonising populations. However, admixture is not a …

Species range limits involve many aspects of evolution and ecology, from species
distribution and abundance to the evolution of niches. Theory suggests myriad processes by …

Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

Recent theory and empirical evidence have provided new insights regarding how
evolutionary forces interact to shape adaptation at stable and transient range margins …

Ecological resilience to climate change is a combination of resistance to increasingly
frequent and severe disturbances, capacity for recovery and self-organization, and ability to …

Species' range limits are ubiquitous. This suggests that the evolution of the ecological niche
is constrained in general and at the edges of distributions in particular. While there may be …

Ecology affects each of the three principal processes leading to speciation: genetic
differentiation among populations within species, acquisition of reproductive isolation …

Background California is a world floristic biodiversity hotspot where the terms neo-and paleo-
endemism were first applied. Using spatial phylogenetics, it is now possible to evaluate …
