Recent research on the wheat curl mite species complex has revealed extensive genetic
diversity that has distinguished several genetic lineages infesting bread wheat (Triticum …

The insular limestone karsts of northern Vietnam harbor a very rich biodiversity. Many taxa
are strongly associated with these environments, and individual species communities can …

The role of natural selection in phenotypic evolution is central to evolutionary biology.
Phenotypic evolution is affected by various factors other than adaptation, and recent focus …

Understanding the factors that have shaped the current distributions and diversity of species
is a central and longstanding aim of evolutionary biology. The recent inclusion of genomic …

Fragmented landscapes entail important consequences for the evolution of the species
confined to them. Isolation of population fragments accelerates selection for narrow local …

Abstract Knowledge of the sediment flux derived from different sources is critical for
interpreting the sedimentary records associated with large river sedimentary systems. For …

Conservation planning of threatened taxa relies upon accurate data on systematics,
