DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9479
Abstract: Abstract Sexual imprinting is widespread in birds and other species but its existence requires explanation. Our results suggest that sexual imprinting leads to speciation in locally‐adapted populations if a neutral mating cue—e.g., novel plumage coloration—arises… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107695
Abstract: Abstract Characterizing and managing deforestation are some of the most urgent environmental challenges in the tropics. Forest loss depends on multiple drivers that relate to ecological and socio-economic conditions, and varies significantly in time and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15208-w
Abstract: Understanding how phenotypic traits vary among populations inhabiting different environments is critical for predicting a species’ vulnerability to climate change. Yet, little is known about the key functional traits that determine the distribution of populations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2115608119
Abstract: Significance In marine ecosystems, transmission of microbial symbionts between host generations occurs predominantly through the environment. Yet, it remains largely unknown how host genetics, symbiont competition, environmental conditions, and geography shape the composition of symbionts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/23766808.2021.1940049
Abstract: Mountain ecosystems are characterized by steep environmental gradients. Species with broad elevation distribution are exposed to contrasting climatic conditions along their gradients. In response t... read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-07035-6
Abstract: Background The cattle introduced by European conquerors during the Brazilian colonization period were exposed to a process of natural selection in different types of biomes throughout the country, leading to the development of locally adapted… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.702822
Abstract: Cattle population history, breeding systems, and geographic subdivision may be reflected in runs of homozygosity (ROH), effective population size (Ne), and linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns. Thus, the assessment of this information has become essential to… read more here.
