The effects of past, present and future climate change on range-wide genetic diversity in northern North Atlantic marine species

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2013
It is now accepted that changes in the Earth’s climate are having a profound effect on the distributions of a wide variety of species. One aspect of these changes that has only recently received any attention, however, is their potential effect on levels

Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Coevolving Symbiont-Harboring Insect Trypanosomatids, and Their Neotropical Dispersal by Invader African Blowflies (Calliphoridae)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
This study is about the inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity of trypanosomatids of the genus Angomonas, and their association with Calliphoridae (blowflies) in Neotropical and Afrotropical regions. Microscopic examination of 3,900 flies of various

(Re‐) Defining evolutionary medicine

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The applicability of evolutionary biology principles to diseases has been largely questioned by the medical field. While Evolutionary Medicine (EM) developed in part to lessen this gap, EM is an independent field from both evolution and medicine, whose ...

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1904-1924, September 2026.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

High Connectivity at Abyssal Depths: Genomic and Proteomic Insights Into Population Structure of the Pan‐Atlantic Deep‐Sea Bivalve Ledella ultima (E. A. Smith, 1885)

Ecology and Evolution
Phylogeographic analyses have advanced our understanding of evolutionary processes in the deep sea, yet patterns of genetic variation and population divergence at abyssal depths remain poorly understood.

Phylogeography Study of the Siberian Apricot (Prunus sibirica L.) in Northern China Assessed by Chloroplast Microsatellite and DNA Makers

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
There is evidence that a band of dry climate separated plants in East Asia into distinct northern and southern groups. However, few studies have focused on the arid belt in this region, especially with regard to plants.

Not Cryptogenic: Molecular and Historical Evidence Supports Introduction of Asparagopsis taxiformis (Rhodophyta) Into the Galápagos Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Identifying the origins of widespread species is crucial for conservation in isolated biodiversity hotspots, where ‘cryptogenic’ status often hinders effective biosecurity. We investigated the genetic identity and introduction history of the red macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis in the Galápagos Islands to resolve its cryptogenic status ...

Changes Over a 10‐Year Period in the Distribution Ranges and Genetic Hybridization of Three Pelophylax Pond Frogs in Central Japan

Ecology and Evolution
In this study, we focused on interspecial interactions in Central Japan where three closely related pond frog species, Pelophylax nigromaculatus, Pelophylax porosus porosus, and Pelophylax porosus brevipodus (two species and two subspecies) are ...

Repurposing Legacy Reduced‐Representation Genomic Datasets for Conservation Biogeography: Lessons From Hercules Beetles Across Neotropical Ecoregions

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The study aimed to explore the opportunities and challenges of repurposing previously published reduced‐representation genomic datasets for conservation biogeography post the Kunming‐Montreal Agreement. Specifically, the study evaluates how historical climate fluctuations, habitat size, and recent anthropogenic disturbances may be ...

Multiplex PCR for differentiating Ornithodoros tick vectors in South Africa: Proof of concept

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research
African swine fever (ASF) is a severe viral haemorrhagic disease affecting domestic pigs, maintained by ASF virus within an ancient sylvatic cycle involving Ornithodoros ticks that inhabit warthog burrows.
