The effects of past, present and future climate change on range-wide genetic diversity in northern North Atlantic marine species
It is now accepted that changes in the Earth’s climate are having a profound effect on the distributions of a wide variety of species. One aspect of these changes that has only recently received any attention, however, is their potential effect on levels of within-species genetic diversity. Theoreti...
