DOI: 10.1080/13229400.2025.2477242
Abstract: ABSTRACT Research on migration and mothering has primarily focused on how migration reframes motherhood. Mothers are expected to be the primary caregivers and prioritise their children’s wellbeing over their own. However, transnational mothers face tensions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/696023
Abstract: Premise of research. Quercus tomentella is a tree species endemic to the California Channel Islands and Isla Guadalupe. Given its distribution across six widely separated islands, significant genetic structure would be expected, despite the propensity of… read more here.

Genetic differentiation predicts body size divergence between island and mainland populations of common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biological Journal of the Linnean Society"
DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blz052
Abstract: Small-bodied vertebrates sometimes evolve gigantism on islands, but there is a lack of consistent association with ecological factors or island characteristics. One possible reason is that, even if the ecological conditions are right, body size… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12694
Abstract: Colonization of islands by long‐distance dispersers has great impact on genetic diversification among populations and may spearhead speciation events. We investigated intra‐ and interspecific divergence in Charadrius plovers with populations on mainland Africa, Madagascar and… read more here.
