Ecological genetics of Juglans nigra: Differences in early growth patterns of natural populations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many boreal and temperate forest tree species distributed across large geographic ranges are composed of populations adapted to the climate they inhabit.

Reverse genetics in ecological research.
PLoS ONE, 2008 By precisely manipulating the expression of individual genetic elements thought to be important for ecological performance, reverse genetics has the potential to revolutionize plant ecology.

Molecular genetics as evidence of environmental harm in ecocriminological analysis [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Open Research EuropeThis research focuses on the potential of molecular genetics as a tool that can complement the assessment and evaluation of environmental damage from the perspective of green criminology or ecocriminology.

Genetics and ecological speciation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 Species originate frequently by natural selection. A general mechanism by which this occurs is ecological speciation, defined as the evolution of reproductive isolation between populations as a result of ecologically-based divergent natural selection. The alternative mechanism is mutation-order speciation in which populations fix different mutations as

Evolutionary biology studies on the Iris pumila clonal plant: Advantages of a good model system, main findings and directions for further research [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 Evolutionary studies on the dwarf bearded iris, Iris pumila L., a perennial clonal monocot with hermaphroditic enthomophylous flowers, have been conducted during the last three decades on plants and populations from the Deliblato Sands in Serbia.

Evolutionary Applications, 2020 We evaluate genomic data, relative to phenotypic and climatic data, as a basis for assisted gene flow and genetic conservation. Using a seedling common garden trial of 281 lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) populations from across western Canada, we compare

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Temporal genetic studies of low‐dispersing organisms are rare. Marine invertebrates lacking a planktonic larval stage are expected to have lower dispersal, low gene flow, and a higher potential for local adaptation than organisms with planktonic ...

Generating continuous maps of genetic diversity using moving windows
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Genetic diversity plays a key role in maintaining population viability by preventing inbreeding depression and providing the building blocks for adaptation.

Demographic history and genomics of local adaptation in blue tit populations
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Understanding the genomic processes underlying local adaptation is a central aim of modern evolutionary biology. This task requires identifying footprints of local selection but also estimating spatio‐temporal variations in population demography and ...
