The genus Metarhizium and Pochonia chlamydosporia comprise a monophyletic clade of
highly abundant globally distributed fungi that can transition between long-term beneficial …

Populations that experience severe stress may avoid extinction through adaptation by
natural selection. This process is called evolutionary rescue and has been studied under …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Invasive species are predicted to suffer from reductions in genetic diversity during founding
events, reducing adaptive potential. Integrating evidence from two literature reviews and two …

The damaging effects of invasive organisms have triggered the development of Invasive
Species Predictive Schemes (ISPS). These schemes evaluate biological and historical …

Biological control is widely successful at controlling pests, but effective biocontrol agents are
now more difficult to import from countries of origin due to more restrictive international trade …

Anthropogenic impacts increasingly drive ecological and evolutionary processes at many
spatio‐temporal scales, demanding greater capacity to predict and manage their …

Ectoparasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) present a major challenge to Atlantic
salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture. The demand for effective louse control has produced …

Enemy‐risk effects, often referred to as non‐consumptive effects (NCEs), are an important
feature of predator–prey ecology, but their significance has had little impact on the …

As an effective generalist predator of aphids and other hemipteran pests H. axyridis has
been a successful biological control agent. However, the very functional traits that have …
