Evolutionarily stable communities: a framework for understanding the role of trait evolution in the maintenance of diversity

…, CT Kremer, ET Miller, MM Osmond… - Ecology …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Biological diversity depends on the interplay between evolutionary diversification and
ecological mechanisms allowing species to coexist. Current research increasingly integrates …

Ecological limits to evolutionary rescue

CA Klausmeier, MM Osmond… - … Transactions of the …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Environments change, for both natural and anthropogenic reasons, which can threaten
species persistence. Evolutionary adaptation is a potentially powerful mechanism to allow …

How competition affects evolutionary rescue

MM Osmond, C De Mazancourt - … Transactions of the …, 2013 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Populations facing novel environments can persist by adapting. In nature, the ability to adapt
and persist will depend on interactions between coexisting individuals. Here we use an …

Parallel genetic evolution and speciation from standing variation

KA Thompson, MM Osmond, D Schluter - Evolution Letters, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Adaptation often proceeds from standing variation, and natural selection acting on pairs of
populations is a quantitative continuum ranging from parallel to divergent. Yet, it is unclear …

When predators help prey adapt and persist in a changing environment

MM Osmond, SP Otto… - The American …, 2017 - journals.uchicago.edu
To persist in a changing world, populations must adapt. The ability to adapt is influenced by
interactions with other species, such as predators. Recent experiments and theory suggest …

An evolutionary tipping point in a changing environment

MM Osmond, CA Klausmeier - Evolution, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Populations can persist in directionally changing environments by evolving. Quantitative
genetic theory aims to predict critical rates of environmental change beyond which populations …

[HTML][HTML] Haploid selection, sex ratio bias, and transitions between sex-determining systems

MF Scott, MM Osmond, SP Otto - PLoS Biology, 2018 - journals.plos.org
… Consequently, neo-W-bearing females obtain a different frequency of A alleles from mating
compared to ancestral (MM) females ( versus , respectively). This can inhibit or favour the …

Warming-induced changes to body size stabilize consumer-resource dynamics

MM Osmond, MA Barbour, JR Bernhardt… - The American …, 2017 - journals.uchicago.edu
Both body size and temperature directly influence consumer-resource dynamics. There is
also widespread empirical evidence for the temperature-size rule (TSR), which creates a …

Estimating dispersal rates and locating genetic ancestors with genome-wide genealogies

MM Osmond, G Coop - bioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
Spatial patterns in genetic diversity are shaped by individuals dispersing from their parents
and larger-scale population movements. It has long been appreciated that these patterns of …

Genetic paths to evolutionary rescue and the distribution of fitness effects along them

MM Osmond, SP Otto, G Martin - Genetics, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Novel environments can cause strong selection and rapid adaptation. The genetic basis of
such rapid adaptation tends to be composed of few loci of large effect. Current theory …
