Anthropogenic environmental change can underpin major shifts in natural selective regimes,
and can thus alter the evolutionary trajectories of wild populations. However, little is known …

Alpine ecosystems are frequently characterized by an abundance of wing‐reduced insect
species, but the drivers of this biodiversity remain poorly understood. Insect wing reduction …

Recent genomic analyses have highlighted parallel divergence in response to ecological
gradients, but the extent to which altitude can underpin such repeated speciation remains …

Wing reduction and flightlessness are common features of alpine and subalpine insects, and
are typically interpreted as evolutionary adaptations to increase fecundity and promote local …

Insect flight loss is a repeated phenomenon in alpine habitats, where wing reduction is
thought to enhance local recruitment and increase fecundity. One predicted consequence of …

The secondary loss of flight in previously winged insect lineages has long fascinated
biologists. Habitat stability and isolation are thought to play important roles in driving wing …

Natural selection along elevational gradients has potential to drive predictable adaptations
across distinct lineages, but the extent of such repeated evolution remains poorly studied for …

Wing polymorphism is a prominent feature of numerous insect groups, but the genomic
basis for this diversity remains poorly understood. Wing reduction is a commonly observed …

Dispersal limitation has been recurrently suggested to shape both macroecological patterns
and microevolutionary processes within invertebrates. However, because of potential …

Many unique high‐altitude mountain ecosystems have been declining due to climate
change, posing a threat to flora and fauna that have adapted to these ecosystems. This …
