Inbreeding depression, the reduction of fitness caused by inbreeding, is a nearly universal
phenomenon that depends on past mutation, selection, and genetic drift. Recent estimates …

Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

The current rate of species extinction is rapidly approaching unprecedented highs, and life
on Earth presently faces a sixth mass extinction event driven by anthropogenic activity …

Since allozymes were first used to assess genetic diversity in the 1960s and 1970s,
biologists have attempted to characterize gene pools and conserve the diversity observed in …

Understanding how biological and environmental factors interactively shape the global
distribution of plant and animal genetic diversity is fundamental to biodiversity conservation …

The book aims to integrate our understanding of mammalian societies into a novel synthesis
that is relevant to behavioural ecologists, ecologists, and anthropologists. It adopts a …

Theory predicts that genetic erosion in small, isolated populations of endangered species
can be assessed using estimates of neutral genetic variation, yet this widely used approach …

Linking genetic diversity to extinction is a common goal in genomic studies. Recently, a
debate has arisen regarding the importance of genetic variation in conservation as some …

The influence of genetic variation on invasion success has captivated researchers since the
start of the field of invasion genetics 50 years ago. We review the history of work on this …

Inbreeding depression (reduced fitness of individuals with related parents) has long been a
major focus of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Despite decades of research …
