View article: The Genomic Signature and Transcriptional Response of Metal Tolerance in Brown Trout Inhabiting Metal‐Polluted Rivers
The Genomic Signature and Transcriptional Response of Metal Tolerance in Brown Trout Inhabiting Metal‐Polluted Rivers Open
Industrial pollution is a major driver of ecosystem degradation, but it can also act as a driver of contemporary evolution. As a result of intense mining activity during the Industrial Revolution, several rivers across the southwest of Eng…

Characterising the relationship between suitable habitat and gene flow for Myotis bechsteinii and Eptesicus serotinus in Britain Open
Context Habitat suitability models (HSM) have been used to understand the impacts of landscape-scale habitat connectivity and gene flow mostly by assuming a regular decrease in the cost of movement as habitat improves. Yet, habitat selecti…

Social dominance and rainfall predict telomere dynamics in a cooperative arid‐zone bird Open
In many vertebrate societies dominant individuals breed at substantially higher rates than subordinates, but whether this hastens ageing remains poorly understood. While frequent reproduction may trade off against somatic maintenance, the …

Evolution of non-kin cooperation: social assortment by cooperative phenotype in guppies Open
Cooperation among non-kin constitutes a conundrum for evolutionary biology. Theory suggests that non-kin cooperation can evolve if individuals differ consistently in their cooperative phenotypes and assort socially by these, such that coop…

Application of a novel molecular method to age free‐living wild Bechstein's bats Open
The age profile of populations fundamentally affects their conservation status. Yet, age is frequently difficult to assess in wild animals. Here, we assessed the use of DNA methylation of homologous genes to establish the age structure of …

Genetic structure and diversity of a rare woodland bat, Myotis bechsteinii: comparison of continental Europe and Britain Open
The Bechstein's bat (Myotis bechsteinii) is a rare sedentary bat considered to be highly reliant on the presence of ancient woodland. Understanding the genetic connectivity and population structure of such elusive mammals is important for …

Adaptive capabilities and fitness consequences associated with pollution exposure in fish Open
Many fish populations are exposed to harmful levels of chemical pollution and selection pressures associated with these exposures have led to the evolution of tolerance. Our understanding of the physiological basis for these adaptations is…

The long shadow of our chemical past – High DDT concentrations in fish near a former agrochemicals factory in England Open
A total of 81 roach (Rutilus rutilus) collected from 13 southern English river sites between 2007 and 2012, were analysed for organochlorine pesticides, PCBs, PBDEs and some metals. Unexpectedly high concentrations of the banned insecticid…
