DOI: 10.1007/s00265-020-02893-2
Abstract: Biological invasions are a contemporary global threat because invasive species can have substantial negative economic and ecological impacts. Invasive species can outcompete native species through two main mechanisms: interference competition (direct, negative interactions like aggression)… read more here.

Abstract: On the basis of sequence homology with mammalian α-keratins, and on the criteria that the coiled-coil segments and central linker in the rod domain of these molecules must have conserved lengths if they are to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2018.04.006
Abstract: The maternal origin of isolated populations of the common wall lizard (Podracis muralis) in the Czech Republic, representing the north-eastern range border of the species, was addressed. We compared mitochondrial DNA sequences of the cytochrome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zox055
Abstract: Abstract Color polymorphism often is associated with alternative reproductive strategies and may reflect different adaptive optima that coexist within populations. The equilibrium among morph frequencies is maintained by the occurrence of opposite selective pressures (disruptive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.05.19.492253
Abstract: Integrative studies of animals and associated microbial assemblages (i.e., the holobiont) are rapidly changing our perspectives on organismal ecology and evolution. Islands provide ideal natural systems to understand the biogeographic patterns that shape these symbiotic… read more here.
