The evolution of complete reproductive isolation hinges on the cumulative action of reproductive isolating barriers that can manifest throughout the life cycle of an organism. Consequently, a comprehe...

Hybridization between distinct populations injects genetic variation, which can bring fitness benefits. However, these benefits often appear as F1 heterosis, and might not persist into later generatio...

The spectacular variation in species forms and richness across space and time can be explored using sophisticated and powerful tools recently developed by evolutionary modellers. In this contribut...

Species coexistence is shaped by a range of biotic and abiotic factors. Beyond predation, parasitism, and competition, one species may interfere with another's reproduction to induce sexual exclusion ...

<p>Read about &ldquo;Testing the Mating System Model of Parasite Complex Life Cycle Evolution Reveals Demographically Driven Mixed Mating&rdquo; by Jenna M. Hulke and Charles D. Criscione (December&nb...

Abstract. Natural selection is believed to shape amino acid usage of the proteome by minimizing the energy cost of protein biosynthesis. Although this hypo

Current food systems are challenged by relying on a few input-intensive, staple crops. The prioritization of yield and the loss of diversity during...
