DOI: 10.1016/j.jcz.2019.07.002
Abstract: Abstract We studied differences in age, longevity, and sexual maturity in island and mainland populations of the neotropical toad Rhinella ornata to assess how changes in sexual characteristics relate to evolution of insular dwarfism. Here… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract. Understanding the spatial structure of populations is important in developing effective management options for threatened species, and for managing habitat connectivity for metapopulation function, and for demographic and genetic heterogeneity. We used genetic information… read more here.

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: 10.1093/cz/zoaa034
Abstract: Insular biodiversity has aroused the curiosity of biologists in assessing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses concerning their mainland counterparts. Comparisons of particular life history traits between island and mainland populations have provided a broader view of… read more here.

Genomic diversity and differentiation between island and mainland populations of white‐tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla)

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16858
Abstract: Divergence in the face of high dispersal capabilities is a documented but poorly understood phenomenon. The white‐tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) has a large geographic dispersal capability and should theoretically be able to maintain genetic homogeneity… read more here.
