Within‐Island Diversification Generates Lineage‐Specific Climate Vulnerability: Insights From the Taiwan‐Endemic Formosan Duke

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Global climate change disproportionately threatens island endemics because their restricted ranges and limited dispersal opportunities constrain their ability to shift their distributions. Therefore, when developing conservation strategies for species, it is crucial to incorporate population genomics data with ecological information to ...

Spatial Variation in Abundance Parameters of a Federally Threatened Groundwater Salamander Within and Among Central Texas Headwater Creeks

Ecology and Evolution
Semi‐arid conditions in central Texas relegate Eurycea salamanders to aquatic habitats influenced by groundwater (i.e., springs, spring‐fed creeks, and subterranean water in alluvium and aquifers).
