Extending an eco-evolutionary understanding of biofilm-formation at the air-liquid interface to community biofilms [PDF]

, 2020
Growing bacterial populations diversify to produce a number of competing lineages. In the Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 model system, Wrinkly Spreader mutant lineages, capable of colonising the air-liquid interface of static microcosms by biofilm ...

Evolutionary Insights into the Ecology of Coronaviruses [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2007
ABSTRACT Although many novel members of the Coronaviridae have recently been recognized in different species, the ecology of coronaviruses has not been established. Our study indicates that bats harbor a much wider diversity of coronaviruses than any other animal species.

Floral traits are associated with the quality but not quantity of heterospecific stigmatic pollen loads

BMC Ecology, 2020
Background In flowering communities, plant species commonly share pollinators and therefore plant individuals receive heterospecific pollen (HP). However, the patterns of HP transfers can deviate from patterns of plant-pollinator visitations.

Evolutionary ecology of opsin gene sequence, expression and repertoire. [PDF]

, 2017
Linking molecular evolution to biological function is a long-standing challenge in evolutionary biology. Some of the best examples of this involve opsins, the genes that encode the molecular basis of light reception.

Predation affects body shape in the knife livebearer Alfaro cultratus (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Livebearing fishes are a common model for studying the effects of predation on prey biology. Numerous studies have found differences in life history, sexual selection, behavior, and morphology between populations of the same species that co‐occur with ...

Evolutionary ecology in-silico:evolving foodwebs, migrating population and speciation [PDF]

, 2004
We have generalized our ``unified'' model of evolutionary ecology by taking into account the possible movements of the organisms from one ``patch'' to another within the same eco-system.

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 ...

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.

Design-based learning for a sustainable future: student outcomes resulting from a biomimicry curriculum in an evolution course

Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2020
Background National institutes and education initiatives emphasize the need to prepare future biologists to apply discoveries in science towards solving problems that are both social and scientific in nature. Research from socio-scientific, design-based,
