Plant–herbivore interactions have evolved in response to coevolutionary dynamics, along
with selection driven by abiotic conditions. We examine how abiotic factors influence trait …

Genetic diversity is a prerequisite for evolutionary change in all kinds of organisms. It is
generally acknowledged that populations lacking genetic variation are unable to evolve in …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is
within 1 km of the forest's edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation. A synthesis …

Climate change is happening due to natural factors and human activities. It expressively
alters biodiversity, agricultural production, and food security. Mainly, narrowly adapted and …

Now that so many ecosystems face rapid and major environmental change, the ability of
species to respond to these changes by dispersing or moving between different patches of …

Evidence is growing that human modification of landscapes has dramatically altered
evolutionary processes. In urban population genetic studies, urbanization is typically …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are among the biggest threats to biodiversity. Anthropogenic
habitat fragmentation leads to small and isolated remnant plant and animal populations. The …

Most of the world's land surface is currently under human use and natural habitats remain as
fragmented samples of the original landscapes. Measuring the quality of plant progeny sired …

Climate change and habitat loss are both key threatening processes driving the global loss
in biodiversity. Yet little is known about their synergistic effects on biological populations due …
