Evolutionary ecology of nectar. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2019 Floral nectar is an important determinant of plant-pollinator interactions and an integral component of pollination syndromes, suggesting it is under pollinator-mediated selection. However, compared to floral display traits, we know little about the evolutionary ecology of nectar.

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 of Lyme Borrelia [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020 The bacterial genus, Borrelia, is comprised of vector-borne spirochete species that infect and are transmitted from multiple host species. Some Borrelia species cause highly-prevalent diseases in humans and domestic animals. Evolutionary, ecological, and

Evolutionary Ecology of Fish Venom: Adaptations and Consequences of Evolving a Venom System [PDF]
Toxins, 2019 Research on venomous animals has mainly focused on the molecular, biochemical, and pharmacological aspects of venom toxins. However, it is the relatively neglected broader study of evolutionary ecology that is crucial for understanding the biological ...

Online toolkits for collaborative and inclusive global research in urban evolutionary ecology [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUrban evolutionary ecology is inherently interdisciplinary. Moreover, it is a field with global significance. However, bringing researchers and resources together across fields and countries is challenging. Therefore, an online collaborative research hub,

The evolutionary ecology of nests: a cross-taxon approach. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2023 Nests, including the enormous structures housing colonies of eusocial insects and the elaborately built nests of some fishes, have long fascinated scientists, yet our understanding of the evolutionary ecology of nests has lagged behind our understanding ...

A global horizon scan for urban evolutionary ecology.
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Research on the evolutionary ecology of urban areas reveals how human-induced evolutionary changes affect biodiversity and essential ecosystem services. In a rapidly urbanizing world imposing many selective pressures, a time-sensitive goal is to identify

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.
