Henipaviruses are zoonotic viruses, including some highly pathogenic and capable of
serious disease and high fatality rates in both animals and humans. Hendra virus and Nipah …

Global climate changes during the Quaternary reveal much about broader evolutionary
effects of environmental change. Detailed regional studies reveal how evolutionary lineages …

Biological invasions are one of the great threats to Earth's ecosystems and biodiversity in the

Carnivores tend to exhibit a lack of (or less pronounced) genetic structure at continental
scales in both a geographic and temporal sense and this can confound the identification of …

Aim Understanding the drivers of species distribution ranges and population genetic
structure can help predict species' responses to global change, while mitigating threats to …

The climate fluctuations of the Quaternary shaped the movement of species in and out of
glacial refugia. In Europe, the majority of species followed one of the described traditional …

Establishing how invasive species impact upon pre-existing species is a fundamental
question in ecology and conservation biology. The greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura …
