Alleles that introgress between species can influence the evolutionary and ecological fate of
species exposed to novel environments. Hybrid offspring of different species are often unfit …

Domestication is a co-evolutionary process that occurs when wild plants are brought into
cultivation by humans, leading to origin of new species and/or differentiated populations that …

Under climate change, species unable to track their niche via range shifts are largely reliant
on genetic variation to adapt and persist. Genomic vulnerability predictions are used to …

Tropicalisation is a marine phenomenon arising from contemporary climate change, and is
characterised by the range expansion of tropical/subtropical species and the retraction of …

How ecological niche breadth evolves is central to adaptation and speciation and has been
a topic of perennial interest. Niche breadth evolution research has occurred within …

Recent theory and empirical evidence have provided new insights regarding how
evolutionary forces interact to shape adaptation at stable and transient range margins …

Infectious diseases are changing due to the environment and altered interactions among
hosts, reservoirs, vectors, and pathogens. This is particularly true for zoonotic diseases that …

Global changes are severely affecting pollinator insect communities worldwide, resulting in
repeated patterns of species extirpations and extinctions. Whilst negative population trends …

The conservation of biodiversity from the genetic to the community levels is fundamental for
the continual provision of ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to …

While often deleterious, hybridization can also be a key source of genetic variation and pre-
adapted haplotypes, enabling rapid evolution and niche expansion. Here we evaluate these …
