Macroevolutionary insights into the range limits of species and lineages

Abstract Understanding the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that determine the range limits of species is an important goal in biology. Much work has focused on understanding the range limits of populations and individual species, whereas the factors that determine the distributio...

Deciphering the genomic signatures of climate vulnerability across 77 sheep breeds

Abstract Among domesticated species, sheep ( Ovis aries ) have achieved a wide geographic distribution due to their mobility, rusticity and ability to adapt to diverse environments and climatic conditions. Here, we characterise the genome-wide diversity of >1,000 sheep representi...
