Chemical contaminants (eg metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals) are changing ecosystems
via effects on wildlife. Indeed, recent work explicitly performed under environmentally …

It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, and …

Assisted gene flow (AGF) between populations has the potential to mitigate maladaptation
due to climate change. However, AGF may cause outbreeding depression (especially if …

Patterns of local adaptation are expected to emerge when selection is spatially
heterogeneous and sufficiently strong relative to the action of other evolutionary forces. The …

Population genetic models predict that alleles with small selection coefficients may be
swamped by migration and will not contribute to local adaptation. But if most alleles …

Environmental disturbance underpins the dynamics and diversity of many of the ecosystems
of the world, yet its influence on the patterns and distribution of genetic diversity is poorly …

The field of landscape genetics has been evolving rapidly since its emergence in the early
2000s. New applications, techniques and criticisms of techniques appear like clockwork with …

It is widely recognized that ecological dynamics influence evolutionary dynamics, and
conversely that evolutionary changes alter ecological processes. Because fragmentation …

Background As increasingly fragmented and isolated populations of threatened species
become subjected to climate change, invasive species and other stressors, there is an …

Background The amount and structure of genetic diversity in dessert apple germplasm
conserved at a European level is mostly unknown, since all diversity studies conducted in …
