Although there are many examples of contemporary directional selection, evidence for
responses to selection that match predictions are often missing in quantitative genetic …

Understanding how spatially variable selection shapes adaptation is an area of long-
standing interest in evolutionary ecology. Recent meta-analyses have quantified the extent …

Wild populations must continuously respond to environmental changes or they risk
extinction. Those responses can be measured as phenotypic rates of change, which can …

Heterogeneous selection is often proposed as a key mechanism maintaining repeatable
behavioral variation (“animal personality”) in wild populations. Previous studies largely …

To understand how new species form and what causes their collapse, we examined how
reproductive isolation evolves during the speciation process, considering species pairs with …

Organisms modify and choose components of their local environments. This 'niche
construction'can alter ecological processes, modify natural selection and contribute to …

It is widely thought that small populations should have less additive genetic variance and
respond less efficiently to natural selection than large populations. Across taxa, we meta …

Understanding natural selection's effect on genetic variation is a major goal in biology, but
the genome‐scale consequences of contemporary selection are not well known. In a …

We are witnessing a global, but unplanned, evolutionary experiment with the biodiversity of
the planet. Anthropogenic disturbances such as habitat degradation and climate change …

Evolutionary Community Ecology develops a unified framework for understanding the
structure of ecological communities and the dynamics of natural selection that shape the …
