Deep learning image segmentation reveals patterns of UV reflectance evolution in passerine birds

Nature Communications, 2022
Here, the authors develop software that uses photographs of birds to extract information on plumage UV reflectance. They use these data to show that UV reflectance is phylogenetically conserved and associated with the light environment.

Evolutionary-thinking in agricultural weed management [PDF]

, 2009
Agricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and management in agroecosystems is not widely acknowledged.

One Health – an Ecological and Evolutionary Framework for tackling Neglected Zoonotic Diseases [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding the complex population biology and transmission ecology of multihost parasites has been declared as one of the major challenges of biomedical sciences for the 21st century and the Neglected Zoonotic Diseases (NZDs) are perhaps the most ...

Naming the untouchable – environmental sequences and niche partitioning as taxonomical evidence in fungi

IMA Fungus, 2020
Due to their submerged and cryptic lifestyle, the vast majority of fungal species are difficult to observe and describe morphologically, and many remain known to science only from sequences detected in environmental samples.

Robotics as a Comparative Method in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Integrative And Comparative Biology, 2022
AbstractComparative biologists have typically used one or more of the following methods to assist in evaluating the proposed functional and performance significance of individual traits: comparative phylogenetic analysis, direct interspecific comparison among species, genetic modification, experimental alteration of morphology (for example by ...

Growth factor gene IGF1 is associated with bill size in the black-bellied seedcracker Pyrenestes ostrinus

Nature Communications, 2018
Pyrenestes finches have a bill size polymorphism thought to be maintained by disruptive selection. Here, the authors identify a single candidate region, including insulin-like growth factor 1, differentiating small and large bill size morphs and a wider ...

Urbanization and a green corridor do not impact genetic divergence in common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.)

Scientific Reports, 2023
Urbanization is altering landscapes globally at an unprecedented rate. While ecological differences between urban and rural environments often promote phenotypic divergence among populations, it is unclear to what degree these trait differences arise ...

An integrative genomic and phenomic analysis to investigate the nature of plant species in Escallonia (Escalloniaceae)

Scientific Reports, 2021
What we mean by species and whether they have any biological reality has been debated since the early days of evolutionary biology. Some biologists even suggest that plant species are created by taxonomists as a subjective, artificial division of nature.
