Matching habitat choice and plasticity contribute to phenotype–environment covariation in a stream salamander
Populations optimize the match of phenotype to environment by localized natural selection,
adaptive phenotypic plasticity, and habitat choice. Habitat choice may also be achieved by …

Hydrologic variability contributes to reduced survival through metamorphosis in a stream salamander
Changes in the amount, intensity, and timing of precipitation are increasing hydrologic
variability in many regions, but we have little understanding of how these changes are …

Environmentally associated variation in dispersal distance affects inbreeding risk in a stream salamander
Avoiding inbreeding is considered a key driver of dispersal evolution, and dispersal
distances should be especially important in mediating inbreeding risk because the …

Outbreeding reduces survival during metamorphosis in a headwater stream salamander
Assessing direct fitness effects of individual genetic diversity is challenging due to the
intensive and long‐term data needed to quantify survival and reproduction in the wild. But …

Differences in Corticosterone Release Rates of Larval Spring Salamanders (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) in Response to Native Fish Presence
Simple Summary In amphibians, glucocorticoid hormones play a key role in the response to
predation stress. Predators can directly affect prey via injury and death, but they can also …

Seasonal variation in the strength of interference competition among headwater stream predators
Vertebrate communities in headwater streams are assumed to be regulated through
competitive and predatory interactions. Although documented predation is rare, studies …

Long‐term survival probability, not current habitat quality, predicts dispersal distance in a stream salamander
Dispersal evolves as an adaptive mechanism to optimize individual fitness across the
landscape. Specifically, dispersal represents a mechanism to escape fitness costs resulting …

Role of abiotic factors and habitat heterogeneity in the interactions between stream salamanders and crayfish in the southern Appalachians
Species interactions are important for determining the biological organization of natural
communities. Presumably, as interacting organisms become more similar in resource …

Interspecific Interactions between Salamanders and a Small-Bodied Stream Fish Are Not Mediated by Flow in Experimental Streams
Humans have modified ecosystems around the globe. Due to such modifications, freshwater
streams are experiencing shifts in thermal and hydrologic regimes. These changes are also …

Evolutionary implications of habitat choice
CK Porter, CK Akcali - eLS, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
There is a growing realisation that habitat choice can have profound consequences for the
processes of adaptation and speciation. Habitat choice may be a rapid and effective route by …
