DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01174
Abstract: Abstract While most evolutionary studies of host-pathogen dynamics consider pathogen evolution alone or host-pathogen coevolution, there is evidence that hosts can evolve more rapidly than their pathogen during initial outbreaks after disease introduction, e.g. evolutionary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcy144
Abstract: Background and Aims As a major evolutionary transition in seed plants, the evolution of plant mating systems has been much debated in evolutionary ecology. Over the last 10 years, well-established patterns of evolution have emerged.… read more here.

Evolutionary rescue in a fluctuating environment: periodic versus quasi-periodic environmental changes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.0770
Abstract: No environment is constant over time, and environmental fluctuations impact the outcome of evolutionary dynamics. Survival of a population not adapted to some environmental conditions is threatened unless, for example, a mutation rescues it, an… read more here.

How frequency‐dependent selection affects population fitness, maladaptation and evolutionary rescue
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Evolutionary Applications"
DOI: 10.1111/eva.12714
Abstract: Frequency‐dependent (FD) selection is a central process maintaining genetic variation and mediating evolution of population fitness. FD selection has attracted interest from researchers in a wide range of biological subdisciplines, including evolutionary genetics, behavioural ecology… read more here.

Hybridization may aid evolutionary rescue of an endangered East African passerine

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13440
Abstract: Introgressive hybridization is a process that enables gene flow across species barriers through the backcrossing of hybrids into a parent population. This may make genetic material, potentially including relevant environmental adaptations, rapidly available in a… read more here.

The role of spatial structure in multi‐deme models of evolutionary rescue

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14018
Abstract: Genetic variation and population sizes are critical factors for successful adaptation to novel environmental conditions. Gene flow between sub‐populations is a potent mechanism to provide such variation and can hence facilitate adaptation, for instance by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.12911
Abstract: Experimental evolution studies using cyanobacteria as model organisms are scarce despite the role of cyanobacteria in the evolution of photosynthesis. Three different experimental evolution approaches have been applied to shed light on the sulfide adaptation… read more here.

Evolutionary Rescue over a Fitness Landscape
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Genetics"
DOI: 10.1534/genetics.118.300908
Abstract: Evolutionary rescue describes a situation where adaptive evolution prevents the extinction of a population facing a stressing environment. Models of evolutionary rescue could in principle be used to predict the level of stress beyond which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.120.303624
Abstract: We investigate the evolutionary rescue of a microbial population in a gradually deteriorating environment, through a combination of analytical calculations and stochastic simulations. We consider a population destined for extinction in the absence of mutants,… read more here.
