Signals of local adaptation have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the heterogeneity distribution adaptive genetic variation throughout species ranges. In coming decades, global climate change is expected to induce shifts selective pressures that shape this variation. These changes will likely result varying degrees maladaptation spatial reshuffling underlying distributions alleles. There a growing interest using population genomic data help predict future disruptions locally gene-environment associations. One motivation behind such work better understand how effects changing on populations’ short-term fitness could vary spatially across Here we review current use disruption climates.

Abstract Loss of biodiversity is among the greatest problems facing world today. Conservation and Genomics Populations gives a comprehensive overview essential background, concepts, tools needed to understand how genetic information can be used conserve species threatened with extinction, manage ecological or commercial importance. New molecular techniques, statistical methods, computer programs, principles, methods are becoming increasingly useful in conservation biological diversity. Using balance data theory, coupled basic applied research examples, this book examines phenotypic variation natural populations, principles mechanisms evolutionary change, interpretation from these conservation.

Genomics of Developmental Plasticity in Animals

Developmental plasticity refers to the property by which same genotype produces distinct phenotypes depending on environmental conditions under development takes place. By allowing organisms produce adjusted that adults will experience, developmental can provide means cope with heterogeneity. be adaptive and its evolution shaped natural selection. It has also been suggested facilitate adaptation promote diversification. Here, we summarize current knowledge of impact evolution, identify recent advances important open questions about genomics in animals. We give special attention studies using transcriptomics genes whose expression changes across environments genetic mapping loci contribute variation fuel evolution.

Climate‐Mediated Hybridisation and the Future of Andean Forests

Journal of Biogeography, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 3, 2025

ABSTRACT The tropical Andes face unprecedented warming and shifting precipitation patterns due to climate change land‐use alteration, challenging the future of Andean forests. During Quaternary, many trees responded through upslope migrations but, while there is evidence such ongoing in species, they are at rates far below what needed remain equilibrium with current climate. Similarly, given number generations required for adaptation long lifespans trees, it unlikely that most species will be able adapt fast enough. This synthesis explores role migration‐induced secondary contact hybridisation as potential mechanisms accelerating adaptive response Hybridisation, historically underappreciated increasingly recognised an important driver speciation ecological diversity. It may facilitate gene flow introgression, providing novel genetic combinations enhance resilience change. process can generate new allelic diversity, allowing more rapidly than mutation or selection on standing variation alone. However, also lead negative outcomes like swamping outbreeding depression. Conservation strategies should consider benefits risks maintaining biodiversity under changing environmental conditions. As habitat fragmentation deforestation exacerbate challenges faced by these forests, preserving connectivity crucial migration flow, potentially aiding survival tree Anthropocene.
