Space‐for‐time substitutions in climate change ecology and evolution
In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

Species‐Specific Traits Shape Genetic Diversity During an Expansion–Contraction Cycle and Bias Demographic History Reconstruction
Species ranges are dynamic, experiencing expansions, contractions or shifts in response to
habitat changes driven by extrinsic factors such as climate change or human activities. While …

Post-glacial expansion dynamics, not refugial isolation, shaped the genetic structure of a migratory bird, the yellow warbler
During the glacial periods of the Pleistocene, swathes of the Northern Hemisphere were
covered by ice sheets, tundra, and permafrost, leaving large areas uninhabitable for …
