In antagonistic symbioses, such as host–parasite interactions, one population's success is
the other's loss. In mutualistic symbioses, such as division of labor, both parties can gain, but …

Host plants possibly represent the strongest selection pressure for the evolution of
reproductive traits in phytophagous insects. In a first part of this chapter, we review how plant …

ABSTRACT The early Miocene palaeolake Manuherikia in Central Otago, South Island, New
Zealand is a prime source for reconstructing the terrestrial and freshwater biota of past …

Recent empirical evidence suggests that trade-off relationships can evolve, challenging the
classical image of their high entrenchment. For energy reliant traits, this relationship should …

Recent empirical evidence suggest that trade-off shapes can evolve, challenging the
classical image of their high entrenchment. Here we model the evolution of the physiological …

The effect of fluctuating environmental conditions (ie. environmental stochasticity) on the
evolution of virulence has been broadly overlooked, presumably due to a lack of connection …

Landscape management has altered the population dynamics of many species residing in
old growth ecosystems. As a result, fragmentations in residual old oak habitats in Sweden …

Chez les mammifères, les variations annuelles de la production nocturne de mélatonine par
la glande pinéale forment un calendrier neuroendocrine permettant de synchroniser la …

Chapter 1 proposes and empirically tests a model for the evolution of long, synchronous
flowering intervals in bamboos. Chapter 2 develops a mathematical method for studying the …

Seed banking, the storage of seeds in the soil, is a life history strategy common to many
plants, playing a significant role in the survival of species. It is expected to evolve when the …
