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

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