Conclusion The essential message of this symposium, summed up by Gordon Fox
(University of South Florida, USA), was that variability over time, as much as variability in …

Although it is well appreciated that genetic studies of flowering time regulation have led to
fundamental advances in the fields of molecular and developmental biology, the ways in …

The 13th Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (Tuebingen, Germany)
gave concrete expression to the need for extra crosstalk between molecular and population …

The distribution of genomic variation across landscapes can provide insights into the
complex interactions between the environment and the genome that influence the …

The genomes of grasses and cereals include a diverse and large collection of selfish
genetic elements, many of which are fossil relics of ancient origin. Some of these elements …

A synthesis is underway between ecology and evolution, partly brought about by the
realization that evolutionary change can take place on ecological timescales (Hairston et ai …

A fundamental goal of ecology and evolution is to explain patterns of species' distribution
and abundance (Elton, 1930). The range boundary presents a rather clear-cut setting in …

The framework for modern studies of speciation was established as part of the Neo‐
Darwinian synthesis of the early twentieth century. Here we evaluate this framework in the …

The potential for a habitat shift is enhanced when selection against immigrants is
augmented by a temporal difference between them and inhabitants of core populations …

Evolutionary divergence‐age estimates derived from molecular 'clocks' are frequently
correlated with paleogeographic, paleoclimatic and extinction events. One prominent …
