The biodiversity on Earth is dramatically affected by global changes. To understand
biodiversity loss and determine priorities for conservation, it is important to assess whether …

The evolution of sexual dimorphism (SD) is driven by intricate interplays between sexual
and natural selection. When it comes to SD variation within populations, however …

Hybridization can be an important evolutionary force by generating new species and
influencing evolution of parental species in multiple ways, including introgression and the …

Determining whether and how evolution is predictable is an important goal, particularly as
anthropogenic disturbances lead to novel species interactions that could modify selective …

Hybrid zones provide valuable opportunities to understand the genomic mechanisms that
promote speciation by providing insight into factors involved in intermediate stages of …

Background Molecular genetic studies are revealing an increasing number of cryptic
lineages or species, which are highly genetically divergent but apparently cannot be …

Hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an important cause of diversification and
adaptation. Here, we show how divergence in male secondary sexual characters between …

Understanding the ecological and evolutionary consequences of phenotypic plasticity, the
ability of an individual genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to …

During biotic invasions, native communities are abruptly exposed to novel and often severe
selective pressures. The lack of common evolutionary history with invasive predators can …

Divergence in sexually selected traits in allopatry should affect the degree and direction of
hybridization. However, few studies have established the causes and targets of sexual …
