1.	Science. 2012 Mar 16;335(6074):1344-8. Climatic niche shifts are rare among terrestrial plant invaders. Petitpierre B, Kueffer C, Broennimann O, Randin C, Daehler C, Guisan A. Source Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. Abstract The assumption that climatic niche requirements of invasive species are conserved between their native and invaded ranges is key to predicting the risk of invasion. However, this assumption has been challenged recently by evidence of niche shifts in some species. Here, we report the first large-scale test of niche conservatism for 50 terrestrial plant invaders between Eurasia, North America, and Australia. We show that when analog climates are compared between regions, fewer than 15% of species have more than 10% of their invaded distribution outside their native climatic niche. These findings reveal that substantial niche shifts are rare in terrestrial plant invaders, providing support for an appropriate use of ecological niche models for the prediction of both biological invasions and responses to climate change.

2.	Science. 2012 Mar 16;335(6074):1317-21. Human evolution out of Africa: the role of refugia and climate change. Stewart JR, Stringer CB. Source School of Applied Sciences, Bournemouth University, Talbot Campus, Poole, Dorset, UK. jstewart@bournemouth.ac.uk Abstract Although an African origin of the modern human species is generally accepted, the evolutionary processes involved in the speciation, geographical spread, and eventual extinction of archaic humans outside of Africa are much debated. An additional complexity has been the recent evidence of limited interbreeding between modern humans and the Neandertals and Denisovans. Modern human migrations and interactions began during the buildup to the Last Glacial Maximum, starting about 100,000 years ago. By examining the history of other organisms through glacial cycles, valuable models for evolutionary biogeography can be formulated. According to one such model, the adoption of a new refugium by a subgroup of a species may lead to important evolutionary changes.
