Abstract: The spatial scale of adaptation is fundamental to our understanding of evolutionary ecology. Traditionally, strong gene flow and weak selection were expected to prevent adaptive evolution at finer spatial scales, but instances of microgeographic adaptation… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4214408
Abstract: Vernal pools are required habitat of pond-breeding amphibians, yet their legal protections in the United States are not established, leaving vernal pools vulnerable to development and habitat fragmentation. Seasonally, amphibians migrate to breed in vernal… read more here.
