Detecting the extrinsic selective pressures sha** genomic variation is critical for a better
understanding of adaptation and for forecasting evolutionary responses of natural …

Insects constitute vital components of ecosystems. There is alarming evidence for global
declines in insect species diversity, abundance, and biomass caused by anthropogenic …

Recent technological advances in the field of genomics offer conservation managers and
practitioners new tools to explore for conservation applications. Many of these tools are well …

Fluctuations in the strength and direction of natural selection through time are a ubiquitous
feature of life on Earth. One evolutionary outcome of such fluctuations is adaptive tracking …

Understanding the genetic basis of how species respond to changing environments is
essential to the conservation of species. However, the molecular mechanisms of adaptation …

Understanding population divergence that eventually leads to speciation is essential for
evolutionary biology. High species diversity in the sea was regarded as a paradox when …

Quaternary climate fluctuations drove many species to shift their geographic ranges, in turn
sha** their genetic structures. Recently, it has been argued that adaptation may have …

Aim We consider the opportunities and challenges comparative phylogeography (CP) faces
in the genomic age to determine:(1) how we can maximise the potential of big CP analyses …

The emergence of high-throughput sequencing technology promotes life science
development, provides technical support to analyze many life mechanisms, and presents …

Understanding how natural populations will respond to contemporary changes in climate is
becoming increasingly urgent and of fundamental importance for the preservation of future …
