Geographical genetics and the conservation of forest trees (2009, background): “For a more thorough understanding of the evolution of forest tree distributional ranges, and for providing the required scientific background for conservation decisions, comparative studies between neutral and non-neutral (adaptive) variation at the core and at the edges of tree species ranges are n”
The generalism-specialism debate: the role of generalists in the life and death of species (2011, background): “Shifts and changes are more likely to increase towards the margins of expanding ranges, causing them to differ increasingly from the geographical core (Shreeve, Dennis & Pullin, 1996; Bridle & Vines, 2007; Dincǎ et al., 2011).”
Ecological genomics meets community-level modelling of biodiversity: mapping the genomic landscape of current and future environmental adaptation. (2015, result): “These predictions require further sampling and experimentation to validate, but they are consistent with theory predicting loss of adaptation at range edge populations (Hampe & Petit 2005; Bridle & Vines 2007).”
Habitat preferences of oak-feeding xylophagous beetles in a temperate woodland: implications for forest history and management (2009, background): “This is further supported by the preference of some beetles, considered to be relics of primeval woodlands, for large-diameter trees (Ranius and Nilsson 1997; Buse et al. 2007), because such trees only rarely grow within close-canopy stands.”
Long-distance gene flow and adaptation of forest trees to rapid climate change (2012, background): “Some theoretical models predict in particular that gene ﬂow from large central populations into small peripheral ones may swamp local adaptation in marginal areas, preventing range spread beyond some critical environmental limit (Kirkpatrick & Barton 1997; review in Bridle & Vines 2007).”
How climate extremes—not means—define a species' geographic range boundary via a demographic tipping point (2014, background): “…range may illuminate some of the same evolutionary mechanisms and, by reflecting variation deemed adaptive at the range margin, may identify constraints on population persistence in founding populations (Bridle and Vines 2007; see also Cwynar and MacDonald 1987 and Phillips et al. 2006).”
Dragonfly community re‐organisation in boreal forest lakes: rapid species turnover driven by climate change? (2008, background): “The density of a population tends to get lower when a species is living at the limit of its distribution area (classic metapopulation theory; see e.g. Bridle & Vines, 2007).”
Causes of warm‐edge range limits: systematic review, proximate factors and implications for climate change (2014, background): “Proximate causes are also important for understanding the evolutionary basis of species range limits, given the potential for species to continually adapt and expand their ranges (Bridle & Vines, 2007; Kawecki, 2008).”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “…demographical asymmetries, in spatially heterogeneous environments is thought to be largely responsible for the slow evolution of the niche in marginal habitats and, thus, a major explanation for niche conservatism and limited species ranges (Bridle & Vines 2007, Holt 2003, Sexton et al. 2009).”
Where am I and why? Synthesizing range biology and the eco-evolutionary dynamics of dispersal (2014, background): “As we have described in the introduction, traditionally the presence or absence of species is often explained through adaptations to local abiotic conditions (Bridle and Vines 2007); hence, a range margin is thought to arise when local adaptation is insufficient to permit local persistence.”
Animal temperature limits and ecological relevance: effects of size, activity and rates of change (2009, background): “2001; Bridle & Vines, 2007).”
A framework for incorporating evolutionary genomics into biodiversity conservation and management (2015, background): “Whilst gene flow usually does improve adaptive capacity, high levels of gene flow can also result in a loss of local adaptation and reduction in population fitness [187], although empirical evidence for deleterious gene flow is still limited [44].”
Assisted colonization: Integrating conservation strategies in the face of climate change (2011, background): “016 adapt or shift its range in response to changing climatic conditions (Bridle and Vines, 2007; Thomas et al., 2004).”
