Compiling forty years of guppy research to investigate the factors contributing to (non) parallel evolution
Examples of parallel evolution have been crucial for our understanding of adaptation via
natural selection. However, strong parallelism is not always observed even in seemingly …

Experimental translocations to low predation lead to non-parallel increases in relative brain size
Predation is a near ubiquitous factor of nature and a powerful selective force on prey.
Moreover, it has recently emerged as an important driver in the evolution of brain anatomy …

Behavioural plasticity is a major driver in the early stages of adaptation, but its effects in
mediating evolution remain elusive because behavioural plasticity itself can evolve. In this …
