Is senescence inevitable and universal for all living organisms, as evolutionary theories
predict? Although evidence generally supports this hypothesis, it has been proposed that …

Comparative studies of mortality in the wild are necessary to understand the evolution of
aging; yet, ectothermic tetrapods are underrepresented in this comparative landscape …

In many organisms, rapidly changing environmental conditions are inducing dramatic shifts
in diverse phenotypic traits with consequences for fitness and population viability. However …

Simple Summary Threatened animal species live in small and isolated populations, often
with a reduced number of individuals and reduced genetic diversity. In this review, we …

Delineating conservation units (CUs, eg, evolutionarily significant units, ESUs, and
management units, MUs) is critical to the recovery of declining species because CUs inform …

Most population genomic tools rely on accurate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
calling and filtering to meet their underlying assumptions. However, genomic complexity …

Understanding the adaptive potential of populations and species is pivotal for minimizing the
loss of biodiversity in this era of rapid climate change. Adaptive potential has been estimated …

Climate change is rapidly transforming environments and poses a major threat to species
and ecosystems world-wide (Bellard et al., 2012; Parmesan & Yohe, 2003). Given the …

In marine species experiencing intense fishing pressures, knowledge of genetic structure
and local adaptation represent a critical information to assist sustainable management. In …

Improved understanding of the genetic basis of adaptation to climate change is necessary
for maintaining global biodiversity moving forward. Studies to date have largely focused on …
