Background Examples of rapid evolution are common in nature but difficult to account for
with the standard population genetic model of adaptation. Instead, selection from the …

Evolution by natural selection acts on natural populations amidst migration, gene-by-
environmental interactions, constraints, and tradeoffs, which affect the rate and frequency of …

Background Populations of the teleost fish Fundulus heteroclitus appear to flourish in
heavily polluted and geographically separated Superfund sites. Populations from three …

The impact of human-mediated environmental change on the evolutionary trajectories of
wild organisms is poorly understood. In particular, capacity of species to adapt rapidly (in …

Cases of convergent adaptation demonstrate the power of natural selection and can be
used as an important tool for studying the molecular and ecological.. Geographically …

Selection on standing genetic variation may be effective enough to allow for adaptation to
distinct niche environments within a single generation. Minor allele frequency changes at …

While adaptation is commonly thought to result from selection on DNA sequence‐based
variation, recent studies have highlighted an analogous epigenetic component as well …

Background Reproductive isolation can result from adaptive processes (eg, ecological
speciation and mutation-order speciation) or stochastic processes such as “system drift” …

For most species, evolutionary adaptation is not expected to be sufficiently rapid to buffer the
effects of human‐mediated environmental changes, including environmental pollution. Here …

The global acidification of the earth's oceans is predicted to impact biodiversity via
physiological effects impacting growth, survival, reproduction, and immunology, leading to …
