Biological populations may survive lethal environmental stress through evolutionary rescue.
The rescued populations typically suffer a reduction in growth performance and harbor very …

Populations may survive environmental deterioration by evolutionary adaptation. However,
such evolutionary rescue events may be associated with ecological costs, such as reduction …

The ecological forces shaping adaptive radiations are of great interest to evolutionary
ecologists. Here, we experimentally test the hypothesis that the diversification of a lineage …

The history of life is punctuated by repeated periods of unusually rapid evolutionary
diversification called adaptive radiation. The dynamics of diversity during a radiation reflect …

Environmental change represents a major threat to species persistence. When change is
rapid, a population's only means of persisting may be to evolve resistance. Understanding …

Adaptive radiations occur when a species diversifies into different ecological specialists due
to competition for resources and trade-offs associated with the specialization. The …

Adaptive radiation is an important evolutionary process, through which a single ancestral
lineage rapidly gives rise to multiple newly formed lineages that specialize in different …

Competitors are known to be important in governing the outcome of evolutionary
diversification during an adaptive radiation, but the precise mechanisms by which they exert …

Adaptive radiations are major contributors to species diversity. Although the underlying
mechanisms of adaptive radiations, specialization and trade-offs, are relatively well …

We studied the importance of selection and constraint in determining the limits of adaptive
radiation and the consequences of adaptive radiation in an experimental system. We …
