Behavior is central to interactions with the environment and thus has significant consequences for individual fitness. Sexual selection and demographi......
Covarying suites of phenotypic traits, or modules, are increasingly recognized to promote morphological evolution. However, information on how modular......
Spatial variation in natural selection is expected to shape phenotypic variation of wild populations and drive their evolution. Although evidence of p......
How populations of aquatic fauna persist in extreme desert environments is an enigma. Individuals often breed and disperse during favorable conditions......
Secondary contact zones are ideal systems to study the processes that govern the evolution of reproductive barriers, especially at advanced stages of ......
Adaptations to habitats lacking light, such as the reduction or loss of eyes and pigmentation, have fascinated biologists for centuries, yet have rare......
The relative role of hybridization, de novo evolution, and standing variation in weed adaptation to agricultural environments is largely unknown. In A......
Mutation accumulation (MA) experiments, in which de novo mutations are sampled and subsequently characterized, are an essential tool in understanding ......
Plant sexual dimorphism is thought to evolve in response to sex-specific selection associated with competition for access to mates or resources, both ......
Developmental and adult environments can interact in complex ways to influence the fitness of individuals. Most studies investigating effects of the e......
What biotic and abiotic factors drive hybrid zone movement? By resampling a classic hybrid zone between two subspecies of woodpeckers, Aguillon and Ro......
Population viscosity has long been thought to promote the evolution of altruism. However, in the simplest scenarios, the potential for altruism is inv......
When members of the same population follow distinct migration routes, a migratory divide can arise. Could differences in migratory strategies contribu......
