Adaptive evolution of nontransitive fitness in yeast
eLife, 2020 A common misconception is that evolution is a linear ‘march of progress’, where each organism along a line of descent is more fit than all those that came before it.

Experimental evolution of a pheromone signal [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract Sexual signals are important in speciation, but understanding their evolution is complex as these signals are often composed of multiple, genetically interdependent components. To understand how signals evolve, we thus need to consider selection responses in multiple components and account for the genetic

Experimental Phylogeny of neutrally evolving DNA sequences generated by a bifurcate series of nested polymerase chain reactions [PDF]
, 2002 A known phylogeny was generated using a four-step serial bifurcate PCR method. The ancestor sequence (SSU rDNA) evolved in vitro for 280 nested PCR cycles, and the resulting 15 ancestor and 16 terminal sequences (2,238 hp each) were determined. Parsimony,

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Biological populations may survive lethal environmental stress through evolutionary rescue. The rescued populations typically suffer a reduction in growth performance and harbor very low genetic diversity compared with their parental populations.

The evolution of primate short-term memory [PDF]
, 2022 – Short-term memory is implicated in a range of cognitive abilities and is critical for understanding primate cognitive evolution. To investigate the effects of phylogeny, ecology and sociality on short-term memory, we tested the largest and most diverse

Experimental Evolution: The Rate of Adaptive Evolution [PDF]
Current Biology, 2010 Next-generation sequencing technology allows the identification of molecular changes that have arisen in the genomes of microorganisms undergoing experimental evolution. This permits the elucidation of the molecular evolutionary dynamics in these populations.

What associative learning in insects tells us about the evolution of learning and fixed behavior [PDF]
, 2015 Contemporary models for the evolution of learning suggest that environmental predictability plays a critical role in whether learning is expected to evolve in a particular species, a claim originally made over 50 years ago.
