A mechanistic understanding of phenology, the seasonal timing of life history events, is
important for understanding species' interactions and the potential responses of ecological …

Organisms that have ecologically similar sexual and asexual forms present an evolutionary
puzzle, as theory predicts that eventually one form should eliminate the other. However, both …

Dispersal is the central mechanism that determines connectivity between populations yet
few studies connect the mechanisms of movement with realized dispersal in natural …

Intraguild (IG) predator density can alter its effects on intraguild prey populations through
several mechanisms, including density-dependent processes that affect IG predator traits …

I used data from a 14 year survey of the amphibian fauna (14 species) in Jasper County,
Indiana, USA, to detect population and diversity trends, and to test hypotheses regarding the …

Cryptic sex has been argued to explain the exceptional longevity of certain parthenogenetic
vertebrate lineages, yet direct measurements of genetic exchange between sexual and …

Populations of unisexual Ambystoma salamanders typically consist of ploidy-variable
individuals (diploid through pentaploid) that differ in their proportional representation within …

When multiple species with similar trophic niches co-occur in an ecosystem, foraging,
refuge, and breeding microhabitats are predicted to be partitioned in order to enable their …

Quantifying introgression between sexual species and polyploid lineages traditionally
thought to be asexual is an important step in understanding what drives the longevity of …

Organisms with multiple biotic attributes may also have conflicting niche determinants, and
we assessed whether the realized niche reflects single or multiple biotic attributes. A group …
