TL;DR: The authors conducted a review and meta-analysis of published literature on phenotypic plasticity in aquatic (marine and freshwater) gastropods, a common system for studying plasticity.

TL;DR: The British geographical ranges of eight widespread but declining plant species, varying in breeding system, are used as a model to assess the effectiveness of guidelines for the in-situ conservation of neutral genetic diversity.

TL;DR: The prevalence of IBE within these plant species indicates that divergent selection in plants frequently produces local adaptation and supports hypotheses that ecological divergence can drive speciation in sympatry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated simplified versions of two classical models of metapopulation dynamics, in a coalescent framework, to estimate the number and genetic composition of founders in the common bed bug.

TL;DR: Allele-specific amplification (ASA) proved to be an effective method for identifying hybrids and detected multiple ITS1 copies in fishes identified as purebred by morphological analysis, which suggests post-Fl hybridization and introgression may be occurring between roach and bream, and rudd and Bream, although some barriers appear to be suppressing backcrosses within the hybrid population.
