Genetically based trait variation across environmental gradients can reflect adaptation to
local environments. However, natural populations that appear well-adapted often exhibit …

Global warming will jeopardize the persistence and genetic diversity of many species.
Assisted colonization, or the movement of species beyond their current range boundary, is a …
