DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1314
Abstract: PREMISE When two populations of related cytotypes grow in sympatry, the rarer cytotype tends to be excluded due to a frequency-dependent mating disadvantage. Evolutionary models predict that polyploids, which are typically the rarer cytotype upon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16130
Abstract: PREMISE In fleshy-fruited plants, fruit removal is widely used as a proxy for plant reproductive success. Nevertheless, this proxy may not accurately reflect the number of seeds dispersed, an assumed better proxy for total fitness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16165
Abstract: PREMISE Many flowering plants depend on insects for pollination and thus attract pollinators by offering rewards, mostly nectar and pollen. Bee pollinators rely on pollen as their main nutrient source. Pollen provides all essential micro-… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.22959
Abstract: Cardiorespiratory fitness (fitness) has been inversely associated with inflammation, but whether the association is attributed to fitness itself or lower levels of adiposity remains uncertain in young adults. The purpose of this study was to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajim.22929
Abstract: BACKGROUND Emergency responders have jobs with physical demands that put them at risk of musculoskeletal injuries. OBJECTIVES This paper systematically reviews existing literature examining the relationship between fitness and occupational injury in this group. METHODS… read more here.

Adaptive plasticity and fitness costs of endangered, nonendangered, and invasive plants in response to variation in nitrogen and phosphorus availabilities

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10075
Abstract: Abstract Global change drivers such as eutrophication and plant invasions will create novel environments for many plant species. Through adaptive trait plasticity plants may maintain their performance under these novel conditions and may outcompete those… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3702
Abstract: Abstract Vocal traits can be sexually selected to reflect male quality, but may also evolve to serve additional signaling functions. We used a long‐term dataset to examine the signaling potential of song in dimorphic white‐throated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4917
Abstract: Abstract Weed resistance to herbicide can be conferred by gene mutations, and some mutations can cause pleiotropic effects in some cases. We investigated the pleiotropic effects associated with five specific ACCase mutations (Ile1781Leu, Trp2027Cys, Ile2041Asn,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8841
Abstract: Abstract In phytophagous insects, adult attraction and oviposition preference for a host plant are often positively correlated with their immature fitness; however, little is known how this preference–performance relationship changes within insect populations utilizing different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9011
Abstract: Abstract Following a host shift, repeated co‐passaging of a mutualistic pair is expected to increase fitness over time in one or both species. Without adaptation, a novel association may be evolutionarily short‐lived as it is… read more here.
