Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
Experimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.

Phenotypic and Genomic Signatures of Adaptation in Urban Populations of the Wild Radish Raphanus raphanistrum

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT By modifying biotic and abiotic environments, urbanisation can influence the evolutionary adaptation of organisms, especially when their distribution is fragmented. However, the effects of urbanisation on evolutionary adaptation remain poorly understood within a metapopulation framework, where high gene flow and recurrent extinctions ...

Variable Genetic Architecture Limits Cross‐Range Genomic Prediction of Functional Traits in Invasive Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Functional trait expression is a potentially powerful predictor of invasion success, but the reliability of trait‐based predictions across populations depends on the consistency of genetic architecture. We tested this assumption using common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), an annual plant native to North America that has invaded Europe and ...
