Biodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies,
and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under …

BACKGROUND The extent of urban areas is increasing around the world, and most humans
now live in cities. Urbanization results in dramatic environmental change, including …

Empirical population genetic studies have been dominated by a neutralist view, according to
which gene flow and drift are the main forces driving population genetic structure in nature …

The concept of a pace‐of‐life syndrome describes inter‐and intraspecific variation in several
life‐history traits along a slow‐to‐fast pace‐of‐life continuum, with long lifespans, low …

Direct gradient analyses in spatial genetics provide unique opportunities to describe the
inherent complexity of genetic variation in wildlife species and are the object of many …

Urbanisation represents one of the most radical forms of terrestrial land use change and has
been shown to lead to alterations in ecosystem functioning and community dynamics and …

Species occur in urban landscapes under a wide range of conditions and densities, but
knowing only the pattern of occurrence provides limited information about species-specific …

The Arabian horse ignites imagination throughout the world. Populations of this breed exist
in many countries, and recent genetic work has examined the diversity and ancestry of a few …

The combined analysis of neutral and adaptive genetic variation is crucial to reconstruct the
processes driving population genetic structure in the wild. However, such combined analysis …

When a species successfully colonizes an urban habitat it can be expected that its
population rapidly adapts to the new environment but also experiences demographic …
