A candidate subspecies discrimination system involving a vomeronasal receptor gene with different alleles fixed in M. m. domesticus and M. m. musculus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Assortative mating, a potentially efficient prezygotic reproductive barrier, may prevent loss of genetic potential by avoiding the production of unfit hybrids (i.e., because of hybrid infertility or hybrid breakdown) that occur at regions of secondary ...

Separate and synergistic anti‐herbivore effects of non‐glandular trichomes and leaf chemistry in a desert plant

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Neighborhoods and Racial Inequality in Assortative Mating and Fertility in the United States

open access: yesSocieties
While racial inequalities in assortative mating and fertility have been well documented, the role of neighborhoods has frequently been overlooked in explaining these disparities.

Calls and Couples: Communication, Connections, Joint-Consumption and Transfer Prices [PDF]

open access: yes
The article explores joint consumption equilibrium environments. It illustrates network formation through one-to-one directional synapses. Family (couple) arrangements, spontaneously generated under a decentralized general equilibrium price system are ...

Spatial self-structuring accelerates adaptive speciation in sexual populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Questions: How does spatial self-structuring influence the waiting time until adaptive speciation in a population with sexual reproduction? Which mechanisms underlie this effect? Model: Using a spatially explicit individual-based multi-locus model of

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Evolution of assortative mating in a population expressing dominance.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
In this article, we study the influence of dominance on the evolution of assortative mating. We perform a population-genetic analysis of a two-locus two-allele model.

Trade‐offs across life history stages and social association types shape winter communal roosting in a long‐lived raptor

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates how life history trade‐offs and pair bonds influence winter roosting in red kites. Analysing long‐term GPS data from 216 individuals, we reveal marked behavioural plasticity in communal roosting: young, non‐breeding males are most likely to join communal roosts, whereas breeding pairs predominantly roost together near their ...

FINANCIALIZED VIOLENCE IN TORONTO’S RENTAL MARKET: Eviction Rates in Majority Black Renter Communities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract While the geographical distribution of eviction filings has been explored in Toronto, the intersection of rental housing financialization, race and eviction remains underexplored. Financial actors and their intermediaries, who fuel the eviction crisis in economically disenfranchised Black renter communities, exert significant influence over ...
