Mutational load and adaptive variation are shaped by climate and species range dynamics in Vitis arizonica. [PDF]
Summary Genetic load can reduce fitness and hinder adaptation. While its genetic underpinnings are well established, the influence of environmental variation on genetic load is less well characterized, as is the relationship between genetic load and putatively adaptive genetic variation.

The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations. [PDF]
Summary The presence of more than two copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. [Correction added on 22 January 2026, after first online publication: the preceding sentence has been corrected.] The Amazonian tree flora is the most species ...

A Dominant Founder Lineage Has Possible Fitness Costs for the Endangered Mexican Grey Wolf. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Mexican grey wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is an endangered and genetically distinct subspecies of grey wolf adapted to the warm climates of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Following centuries of eradication efforts, Mexican grey wolves were protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1976, prompting an international ex situ ...

Variation in responses to temperature in admixed Populus genotypes predicts geographic shifts in regions where hybrids are favored. [PDF]
Summary Plastic responses of plants to their environment vary as a result of genetic differentiation within and among species. To accurately predict rangewide responses to climate change, it is necessary to characterize genotype‐specific reaction norms across the continuum of historic and future climate conditions comprising a species' range. The North

Anthropogenic or Natural Dispersal: Case of the Spiny-Tailed Iguanas (<i>Ctenosaura</i>) on Clarion Island, Mexico. [PDF]
Species can colonize oceanic islands by both natural and human‐assisted dispersal and human‐caused species introductions have had catastrophic effects on ecosystems around the world. The Spiny‐tailed Iguanas inhabiting Clarion Island were previously considered introduced. Molecular data and analyses support iguanas' arrival on Clarion Island by natural
