This study compares ecological outcomes of Indigenous and local community governance with conventional approaches, finding community-governed areas perform as well as fully protected areas and better than others.

The paper develops a method to identify adaptive variation in spatially structured populations using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing data, showing reduced false negatives by accounting for genotype uncertainty and structured migration.

The paper assesses adaptive capacity in an alpine species complex using genomics and ecology to identify climate vulnerability across taxonomic scales.

This study assesses climate vulnerability in an alpine bird species by linking population density to habitat features across multiple timescales.

The paper develops a hierarchical Bayesian model to identify local adaptation by accounting for observational uncertainty and evolutionary processes, finding 30 genes associated with temperature seasonality in Willow Flycatchers.
