Empirical population genetic studies have been dominated by a neutralist view, according to
which gene flow and drift are the main forces driving population genetic structure in nature …

Comparative studies of quantitative genetic and neutral marker differentiation have provided
means for assessing the relative roles of natural selection and random genetic drift in …

A fully updated guide to the increasingly prevalent use of molecular data in ecological
studies Molecular ecology is concerned with how molecular biology and population genetics …

A major objective of ecology is to understand how ecological processes limit population
connectivity and species' distributions. By spatially quantifying ecological components …

Patterns of phenotypic change across environmental gradients (eg, latitude, altitude) have
long captivated the interest of evolutionary ecologists. The pattern and magnitude of …

Today, with the rapid development of population genomics, the genetic basis of adaptation
can be unraveled directly at the genome level, without any prerequisites about the …

Phenotypic differences between populations often correlate with climate variables, resulting
from a combination of environment-induced plasticity and local adaptation. Species …

morphometric and meristic analyses of samples collected throughout the Black Seas …

Explaining functional connectivity among occupied habitats is crucial for understanding
metapopulation dynamics and species ecology. Landscape genetics has primarily focused …

Amphibians are good models for investigating the genetics of wild animal populations
