Abstract: Soil concentrations of 12 heavy metals that have been linked to various anthropogenic activities were measured in samples collected from the uppermost horizon in approximately 1000 wetlands across the conterminous US as part of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.11.009
Abstract: Abstract Endangerment and extinction of threatened populations can often be accelerated by genomic contamination through infiltration with alien alleles. With a growing anthropogenic footprint, many such hybridization events are human-mediated. The Milky Stork (Mycteria cinerea)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-020-0298-8
Abstract: Theory predicts that when populations are established by few individuals, random founder effects can facilitate rapid phenotypic divergence even in the absence of selective processes. However, empirical evidence from historically documented colonisations suggest that, in… read more here.

Humanâmediated dispersal of weed species during the Holocene: A case study of Chenopodium album agg.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13545
Abstract: We hypothesised that during the Holocene, the distributions of species such as crop weeds have been significantly influenced by human activity. We aimed to (a) identify the main centres of diversity of the Chenopodium album… read more here.
