DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.11.024
Abstract: Abstract It is still a matter of debate how reproductive and genetic characteristics of range-edge populations differ from those central to its range, yet this is important for future changes in species’ ranges. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09692290.2025.2510443
Abstract: Abstract Civil society organizations (CSOs) have played a pivotal role in the governance of labor in global value chains (GVCs). Yet many initiatives developed by CSOs in the global North fail to account for patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.2253
Abstract: Kelp forests are threatened by ocean warming, yet effects of co-occurring drivers such as CO2 are rarely considered when predicting their performance in the future. In Australia, the kelp Ecklonia radiata forms extensive forests across… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0203666
Abstract: The nature of species distribution boundaries is a key subject in ecology and evolution. Edge populations are potentially more exposed to climate-related environmental pressures. Despite research efforts, little is known about variability in fitness-related traits… read more here.

Genetic Distinctiveness but Low Diversity Characterizes Rear-Edge Thuja standishii (Gordon) Carr. (Cupressaceae) Populations in Southwest Japan

DOI: 10.3390/d13050185
Abstract: Rear-edge populations are of significant scientific interest because they can contain allelic variation not found in core-range populations. However, such populations can differ in their level of genetic diversity and divergence reflecting variation in life-history… read more here.
