The current rapid climate change and human-induced alteration of landscapes and animal
communities have led to range expansions in numerous species, raising concerns about …

The cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis,
a fatal zoonotic parasitic disease of the northern hemisphere. Red foxes are the main …

Ice coverage not only affects the climate and landscape of geographical regions but has
impacted species composition, the fragmentation and isolation of populations, and the …

Genome‐wide technologies open up new possibilities to clarify questions on genetic
structure and phylogeographic history of taxa previously studied with microsatellite loci and …

Aim Genoty**‐by‐sequencing (GBS) and similar reduced‐representation sequencing
methods, such as restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RADseq), have been …

Abstract Aim The Mediterranean Basin is a global biodiversity hotspot and has one of the
longest histories of human–biota interactions. Islands host a large fraction of Mediterranean …

Intra-and inter-specific gene flow are natural evolutionary processes. However, human-
induced hybridization is a global conservation concern across taxa, and the development of …

Integrating data across studies with traditional microsatellite genetic markers requires
careful calibration and represents an obstacle for investigation of wide-ranging species …

Elucidating the evolutionary process of animal adaptation to deserts is key to understanding
adaptive responses to climate change. Here we generated 82 individual whole genomes of …

Following glacial retreat after the last ice age, brown bears (Ursus arctos) recolonised
Scandinavia. Previous research based on mitochondrial markers suggests that bears …
