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

Adaptive divergence in resistance to herbivores in Datura stramonium [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Defensive traits exhibited by plants vary widely across populations. Heritable phenotypic differentiation is likely to be produced by genetic drift and spatially restricted gene flow between populations.

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 ...

Trends in the evolution of ecology: “Spain is different” [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2003 During the last fifty years ecology has matured as a scientific discipline. In this paper I analyse the temporal development of the paradigm based on physical systems (the ecosystem paradigm), and the evolutionary ecology paradigm. I first analyse

Scorpionfish rapidly change colour in response to their background
Frontiers in Zoology, 2023 Background To facilitate background matching in heterogenous environments, some animals rapidly change body colouration. Marine predatory fishes might use this ability to hide from predators and prey. Here, we focus on scorpionfishes (Scorpaenidae), well-

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.

Fluctuation induces evolutionary branching in a modeled microbial ecosystem [PDF]
, 2007 The impact of environmental fluctuation on species diversity is studied with a model of the evolutionary ecology of microorganisms. We show that environmental fluctuation induces evolutionary branching and assures the consequential coexistence of ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 The parasitoid wasp Trichopria drosophilae is promising as a biocontrol agent for controlling the ubiquitous pest Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura). Crucial for the successful implementation of any biocontrol agent is a high parasitisation rate by the ...
