We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

Understanding the movement of species' ranges is a classic ecological problem that takes
on urgency in this era of global change. Historically treated as a purely ecological process …

Novel environmental conditions experienced by introduced species can drive rapid
evolution of diverse traits. In turn, rapid evolution, both adaptive and non‐adaptive, can …

Chickens are the most common birds on Earth and colibacillosis is among the most common
diseases affecting them. This major threat to animal welfare and safe sustainable food …

Now updated for its second edition, Population Genetics is the classic, accessible
introduction to the concepts of population genetics. Combining traditional conceptual …

Some of the most common infectious diseases are caused by bacteria that naturally colonise
humans asymptomatically. Combating these opportunistic pathogens requires an …

Evolutionary dynamics are controlled by a number of driving forces, such as natural
selection, random genetic drift and dispersal. In this perspective article, we aim to …

Invasive populations often experience founder effects: a loss of genetic diversity relative to
the source population, due to a small number of founders. Even where these founder effects …

Surface-associated microbial systems are hotspots for the spread of plasmid-encoded
antibiotic resistance, but how surface association affects plasmid transfer and proliferation …

Evolutionary processes, including selection, can be indirectly inferred based on patterns of
genomic variation among contemporary populations or species. However, this often requires …
