The Evolutionary Ecology of Dormancy in Nature and in Cancer
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Dormancy is an inactive period of an organism’s life cycle that permits it to survive through phases of unfavorable conditions in highly variable environments. Dormancy is not binary. There is a continuum of dormancy phenotypes that represent some degree

A roadmap for urban evolutionary ecology. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2019 Urban ecosystems are rapidly expanding throughout the world, but how urban growth affects the evolutionary ecology of species living in urban areas remains largely unknown. Urban ecology has advanced our understanding of how the development of cities and

Evolutionary Ecology of Wolbachia Releases for Disease Control. [PDF]
Annu Rev Genet, 2019 Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic Alphaproteobacteria that can suppress insect-borne diseases through decreasing host virus transmission (population replacement) or through decreasing host population density (population suppression).

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 ...

Zebras of all stripes repel biting flies at close range
Scientific Reports, 2022 The best-supported hypothesis for why zebras have stripes is that stripes repel biting flies. While this effect is well-established, the mechanism behind it remains elusive.
