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: 10.1371/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.

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.
