Speciation—the multiplication of species through the evolution of barriers to reproduction
between populations—plays a central role in evolution since it enables two or more …

Elucidating the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of genetic variation among
populations is crucial for our understanding of their ecology and evolution, and also to help …

Investigating the extent (or the existence) of local adaptation is crucial to understanding how
populations adapt. When experiments or fitness measurements are difficult or impossible to …

The Coats Island field station in northern Hudson Bay, Canada, was established by the
Canadian Wildlife Service in 1984 to monitor the thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia …

The great auk was once abundant and distributed across the North Atlantic. It is now extinct,
having been heavily exploited for its eggs, meat, and feathers. We investigated the impact of …

The Arctic is experiencing the fastest rates of global warming, leading to shifts in the
distribution of its biota and increasing the potential for hybridization. However, genomic …

Рассмотрены проблемы моделирования логистических операций в Арктике с учетом ее
специфических природных и территориальных условий. Обсуждаются особенности …

We tested the hypothesis that segregation in wintering areas is associated with population
differentiation in a sentinel North Pacific seabird, the rhinoceros auklet (Cerorhinca …

Hybridization can negatively impact one or both taxa involved and therefore pose
conservation concerns. Climate change is expected to increase the rate of hybridization …

Thanks to a dramatic reduction in sequencing costs followed by a rapid development of
bioinformatics tools, genome assembly and annotation have become accessible to many …
