Rapid adaptation in a fast‐changing world: Emerging insights from insect genomics
GA McCulloch, JM Waters - Global Change Biology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Many researchers have questioned the ability of biota to adapt to rapid anthropogenic
environmental shifts. Here, we synthesize emerging genomic evidence for rapid insect …

Ecological drivers of global gradients in avian dispersal inferred from wing morphology
An organism's ability to disperse influences many fundamental processes, from speciation
and geographical range expansion to community assembly. However, the patterns and …

Erosion of heterogeneous rock drives diversification of Appalachian fishes
The high levels of biodiversity supported by mountains suggest a possible link between
geologic processes and biological evolution. Freshwater biodiversity is high not only in …

[HTML][HTML] Ecological and evolutionary implications of microbial dispersal
Dispersal is simply defined as the movement of species across space and time. Despite this
terse definition, dispersal is an essential process with direct ecological and evolutionary …

Reinventing the wheel? Reassessing the roles of gene flow, sorting and convergence in repeated evolution
JM Waters, GA McCulloch - Molecular Ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Biologists have long been intrigued by apparently predictable and repetitive evolutionary
trajectories inferred across a variety of lineages and systems. In recent years, high …

Towards understanding insect species introduction and establishment: A community‐level barcoding approach using island beetles
Since Darwin put forward his opposing hypotheses to explain the successful establishment
of species in areas outside their native ranges, the preadaptation and competition …

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

The importance of migratory drop-off for island colonization in birds
Seasonal migration is an underappreciated driver of animal diversification. Changes in
migratory behaviour may favour the establishment of sedentary founder populations and …
