Coupling has emerged as a concept to describe the transition from differentiated
populations to newly evolved species through the strengthening of reproductive isolation …

Similar traits and functions commonly evolve in nature. Here, we explore patterns of
replicated evolution across the plant kingdom and discuss the processes responsible for …

Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

When diverse lineages repeatedly adapt to similar environmental challenges, the extent to
which the same genes are involved (gene reuse) varies across systems. We propose that …

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 …

Understanding how organisms adapt to the environment is a major goal of modern biology.
Parallel evolution—the independent evolution of similar phenotypes in different populations …

Identifying the genetic architecture underlying adaptive traits is exceptionally challenging in
natural populations. This is because associations between traits not only mask the targets of …

Ecotypes are distinct populations within a species that are adapted to specific environmental
conditions. Understanding how these ecotypes become established, and how they interact …

Trypanosoma brucei parasites are the causative agents of African trypanosomiasis in
humans, as well as surra, nagana, and dourine in animals. According to current widely used …

Aim High repeatability among assemblages of closely related but ecologically distinct
ecotypes implies predictability in evolution and assembly of communities. The conditions …
