Crop diversity underpins the productivity, resilience and adaptive capacity of agriculture.
Loss of this diversity, termed crop genetic erosion, is therefore concerning. While alarms …

BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …

The 196 parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will soon agree to a post-
2020 global framework for conserving the three elements of biodiversity (genetic, species …

A number of studies indicate that tropical arthropods should be particularly vulnerable to
climate warming. If these predictions are realized, climate warming may have a more …

Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity occurs almost exclusively in ice-free areas that cover less
than 1% of the continent. Climate change will alter the extent and configuration of ice-free …

Natural history collections are invaluable repositories of biological information that provide
an unrivaled record of Earth's biodiversity. Museum genomics—genomics research using …

I consider how the study of genetic variation has influenced efforts to conserve natural
populations over the last 50 years. Studies with allozymes in the 1970s provided the first …

As climates change across already stressed ecosystems, there is no doubt that species will
be affected, but to what extent and which will be most vulnerable remain uncertain. The …

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 …

Landscape genetics seeks to determine the effect of landscape features on gene flow and
genetic structure. Often, such analyses are intended to inform conservation and …
