DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3946
Abstract: Abstract Admixture is the hybridization between populations within one species. It can increase plant fitness and population viability by alleviating inbreeding depression and increasing genetic diversity. However, populations are often adapted to their local environments… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.09.014
Abstract: The decision to take risks in the presence of a predator involves complex trade-offs between immediate survival and future reproduction. Individuals may gain fitness advantages if they are able to optimally alter their risk-taking strategies… read more here.
