The Industrial Revolution and the accompanying nutritional, epidemiological and demographic
transitions have profoundly changed human ecology and biology, leading to major shifts …

Camera trapping is a widely applied method to study mammalian biodiversity and is still
gaining popularity. It can quickly generate large amounts of data which need to be managed in …

Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and
regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between …

The 2020 global spatial targets for protected areas set by the Convention on Biological
Diversity have almost been achieved, but management effectiveness remains deficient. …

Metagenomic analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA has been used to profile microbial communities
at high resolution and to examine their association with host diet or diseases. We …

The rate of adaptive evolution, the contribution of selection to genetic changes that increase
mean fitness, is determined by the additive genetic variance in individual relative fitness. To …

Although significantly more money is spent on the conservation of tigers than on any other
threatened species, today only 3200 to 3600 tigers roam the forests of Asia, occupying only 7…

By combining high‐throughput sequencing with target enrichment (‘hybridization capture’),
researchers are able to obtain molecular data from genomic regions of interest for projects …

The sexual swellings of female primates have generated a great deal of interest in evolutionary
biology. Two hypotheses recently proposed to elucidate their functional significance …

Assortative mating for human height has long attracted interest in evolutionary biology, and
the phenomenon has been demonstrated in numerous human populations. It is often argued …
