Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2022 Fire has been an ecosystem process since plants colonized land over 400 million years ago. Many diverse traits provide a fitness benefit following fires, and these adaptive traits vary with the fire regime. Some of these traits enhance fire survival, while others promote recruitment in the postfire environment.

Evolutionary ecology in-silico: Does mathematical modelling help in understanding the "generic" trends? [PDF]
, 2005 Motivated by the results of recent laboratory experiments (Yoshida et al. Nature, 424, 303-306 (2003)) as well as many earlier field observations that evolutionary changes can take place in ecosystems over relatively short ecological time scales, several

Measuring telomere length and telomere dynamics in evolutionary biology and ecology [PDF]
, 2014 Telomeres play a fundamental role in the protection of chromosomal DNA and in the regulation of cellular senescence. Recent work in human epidemiology and evolutionary ecology suggests adult telomere length (TL) may reflect past physiological stress and ...

The conceptual structure of evolutionary biology: A framework from phenotypic plasticity [PDF]
, 2018 In this review, I approach the role of phenotypic plasticity as a key aspect of the conceptual framework of evolutionary biology. The concept of phenotypic plasticity is related to other relevant concepts of contemporary research in ...

Proteomics in evolutionary ecology [PDF]
Journal of Proteomics, 2016 Evolutionary ecologists are traditionally gene-focused, as genes propagate phenotypic traits across generations and mutations and recombination in the DNA generate genetic diversity required for evolutionary processes. As a consequence, the inheritance of changed DNA provides a molecular explanation for the functional changes associated with natural ...

The Morphogenesis Of Evolutionary Developmental Biology [PDF]
, 2003 The early studies of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) come from several sources. Tributaries flowing into Evo-Devo came from such disciplines as embryology, developmental genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, paleontology, systematics ...

The Evolutionary Ecology of Metamorphosis [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2019 Almost all animal species undergo metamorphosis, even though empirical data show that this life-history strategy evolved only a few times. Why is metamorphosis so widespread, and why has it evolved? Here we study the evolution of metamorphosis by using a fully size-structured population model in conjunction with the adaptive-dynamics approach.

Evolution in Archaeology [PDF]
, 2008 This review begins with a brief outline of the key concepts of Darwinian archaeology. Its history is then summarized, beginning with its emergence as a significant theoretical focus within the discipline in the early 1980s; its main present-day currents ...

Quantitative analysis of macroevolutionary patterning in technological evolution: Bicycle design from 1800 to 2000 [PDF]
, 2009 Book description: This volume offers an integrative approach to the application of evolutionary theory in studies of cultural transmission and social evolution and reveals the enormous range of ways in which Darwinian ideas can lead to productive ...
