DOI: 10.1038/hdy.2016.130
Abstract: Plant populations are seriously threatened by anthropogenic habitat disturbance. In particular, defaunation may disrupt plant-disperser mutualisms, thus reducing levels of seed-mediated gene flow and genetic variation in animal-dispersed plants. This may ultimately limit their adaptive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12666
Abstract: Aim In the mid-20th century, many populations of large-bodied mammals experienced declines throughout North America. Fortunately, within the last several decades, some have begun to rebound and even recolonize extirpated portions of their native range,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16877
Abstract: The genetic consequences of the subdivision of populations are regarded as significant to long‐term evolution, and research has shown that the scale and speed at which this is now occurring is critically reducing the adaptive… read more here.
