Pan‐Arctic Peatlands Have Expanded During Recent WarmingNARA Subscribed
The fate of carbon stored in Arctic peatlands remains uncertain because of the complex nature of the effects of climate change on permafrost and peatland carbon cycling. Expansion and/or shrinkage of Arctic peatlands under climate change also remain unknown due to lack of ground data and difficulties detecting changes in the extent of these ecosystems, meaning that land surface model predictions currently inadequately quantify...
Hybridization plays a pivotal role in evolution, influencing local adaptation and speciation. However, it can also reduce biodiversity, which is especially damaging when native and non‐native species meet. Hybridization can threaten native species via competition (with vigorous hybrids), reproductive resource wastage and gene introgression. The latter, in particular, could result in increased fitness in invasive species, decre...
The conservation of threatened species must be underpinned by phylogeographic knowledge. This need is epitomized by the freshwater fish Carassius carassius , which is in decline across much of its European range. Restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing ( RAD seq) is increasingly used for such applications; however, RAD seq is expensive, and limitations on sample number must be weighed against the benefit of large numbers of...
Annual pattern of brooding and settlement in a population of the flat oyster Ostrea chilensis from central New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Temporal patterns of larval brooding and settlement were investigated in a flat oyster ( Ostrea chilensis ) population in Tasman Bay, central New Zealand. The proportion of the population brooding larvae and larval settlement rates were monitored over 26 months. A peak period of brooding activity began in late spring and continued through summer. Maximum rates of 17% and 23% of adult oysters brooding larvae occurred in Novembe...
Genetic population structure and introgression in Anopheles dirus mosquitoes in South‐east AsiaNARA Subscribed
Genetic structure and species relationships were studied in three closely related mosquito species, Anopheles dirus A, C and D in Thailand using 11 microsatellite loci and compared with previous mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data on the same populations. All three species were well differentiated from each other at the microsatellite loci. Given the almost complete absence of mtDNA differentiation between An. dirus A and D, this e...
