Connecting Earth observation to high-throughput biodiversity data
Understandably, given the fast pace of biodiversity loss, there is much interest in using Earth observation technology to track biodiversity, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services. However, because most b...

Open AccessThe evolutionary genetics of highly divergent alleles of the mimicry locus in Papilio dardanus
The phylogenetic history of genes underlying phenotypic diversity can offer insight into the evolutionary origin of adaptive traits. This is especially true where single genes have large phenotypic effects, fo...

Open AccessAncient origin of a Western Mediterranean radiation of subterranean beetles
Cave organisms have been used as models for evolution and biogeography, as their reduced above-ground dispersal produces phylogenetic patterns of area distribution that largely match the geological history of ...

Open AccessEvolutionary dynamics of autosomal-heterosomal rearrangements in a multiple-X chromosome system of tiger beetles (Cicindelidae)
Genetic systems involving multiple X chromosomes have arisen repeatedly in sexually reproducing animals. Tiger beetles (Cicindelidae) exhibit a phylogenetically ancient multiple-X system typically consisting o...

Comparative methods and evolution
Comparative biology provides a framework for the study of evolution, by seeking answers to the question of why traits evolved. However, the difficulties of making inferences about the biological causes of trait v...

Extinction and the evolutionary process in endangered species: What to conserve?
The study of intraspecific variation is important for the management of endangered populations. Current approaches for establishing the value of particular populations for conservation management have been con...
