Understanding how natural populations will respond to rapid anthropogenic climate change
is one of the greatest challenges for ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Much research …

The genetic swam** hypothesis proposes that gene flow from central to peripheral
populations inhibits local adaptation and is one of the most widely recognized explanations …

Models are useful tools for understanding and predicting ecological patterns and processes.
Under ongoing climate and biodiversity change, they can greatly facilitate decision‐making …

The rate of global climate change is projected to outpace the ability of many natural
populations and species to adapt. Assisted migration (AM), which is defined as the managed …

The global rate of wildlife extinctions is accelerating, and the persistence of many species
requires conservation breeding programs. A central paradigm of these programs is to …

Climate change poses a particular threat to long‐lived trees, which may not adapt or migrate
fast enough to keep up with rising temperatures. Assisted gene flow could facilitate …

Mammal declines across northern Australia are one of the major biodiversity loss events
occurring globally. There has been no regional assessment of the implications of these …

Genetic considerations should be at the forefront of plans to manage threatened species.
Without careful consideration of the potential for genetic issues (such as loss of genetic …

Many Australian mammal species now only occur on islands and fenced mainland havens
free from invasive predators. The range of one species, the banded hare-wallaby …

Climate change poses a novel threat to biodiversity that urgently requires the development
of adequate conservation strategies. Living organisms respond to environmental change by …
