Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. It strongly influences the dynamics
of spatially structured populations and affects evolutionary processes by sha** patterns of …

The Class Amphibia is one of the most severely impacted taxa in an on-going global
biodiversity crisis. Because amphibian reproduction is tightly associated with the presence …

This second edition of this important and authoritative survey provides students and
researchers with up-to-date and accessible information about the ecology of freshwater and …

Extrinsic factors influencing evolutionary processes are often categorically lumped into
interactions that are environmentally (eg, climate, landscape) or community-driven, with little …

The dynamics of extinction and (re) colonization in habitat patches are characterizing
features of dynamic metapopulations, causing them to evolve differently than large, stable …

Heterogeneous landscapes and fluctuating environmental conditions can affect species
dispersal, population genetics, and genetic structure, yet understanding how biotic and …

BRCA1 is a large multi-domain protein with a pivotal role in maintaining genome stability
and cell cycle progression. Germline mutations in the BRCA1 gene confer an estimated …

Sea ice loss may have dramatic consequences for population connectivity, extinction–
colonization dynamics, and even the persistence of Arctic species subject to climate change …

Metapopulation‐structured species can be negatively affected when landscape
fragmentation impairs connectivity. We investigated the effects of urbanization on genetic …

Genetic diversity is a key part of biodiversity, threatened by human activities that lead to loss
of gene flow and reduction of effective population sizes. Gene flow is a result of both …
