Molecular mechanisms of adaptive evolution in wild animals and plants
Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive
evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence. Uncovering the …

The genomics of local adaptation in trees: are we out of the woods yet?
There is substantial interest in uncovering the genetic basis of the traits underlying adaptive
responses in tree species, as this information will ultimately aid conservation and industrial …

Toward a predictive framework for convergent evolution: integrating natural history, genetic mechanisms, and consequences for the diversity of life
AA Agrawal - The American Naturalist, 2017 - journals.uchicago.edu
A charm of biology as a scientific discipline is the diversity of life. Although this diversity can
make laws of biology challenging to discover, several repeated patterns and general …

Repeated evolution of divergent modes of herbivory in non-avian dinosaurs
Summary The importance of adaptation [1–4] versus organizational constraints [5–7] in
shaping common macroevolutionary trends remains unclear [8]. The fossil record is key to …

A macroevolutionary common-garden experiment reveals differentially evolvable bone organization levels in slow arboreal mammals
Eco-morphological convergence, ie, similar phenotypes evolved in ecologically convergent
taxa, naturally reproduces a common-garden experiment since it allows researchers to keep …
