DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8837
Abstract: Abstract The process of phenotypic adaptation to the environments is widely recognized. However, comprehensive studies integrating phylogenetic, phenotypic, and ecological approaches to assess this process are scarce. Our study aims to assess whether local adaptation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9007
Abstract: Abstract Genetic differentiation between populations is determined by various factors, including gene flow, selection, mutation, and genetic drift. Among these, gene flow is known to counter genetic differentiation. The genus Eranthis, an early flowering perennial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-021-01822-8
Abstract: Bacteria are part of the insect gut system and influence many physiological traits of their host. Gut bacteria may even reduce or block the transmission of arboviruses in several species of arthropod vectors. Culicoides biting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-018-9929-4
Abstract: Biogeographic studies in Amazonia typically describe biodiversity across interfluvia, rarely within them, where geographic variability in morphological traits might be observed. We tested for intraspecific phenotypic variation in three bird species within the Purus–Madeira interfluvium… read more here.

Using Geographic Distance as a Potential Proxy for Help in the Assessment of the Grandmother Hypothesis

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.01.027
Abstract: Life-history theory predicts that selection could favor the decoupling of somatic and reproductive senescence if post-reproductive lifespan (PRLS) provides additional indirect fitness benefits [1, 2]. The grandmother hypothesis proposes that prolonged PRLS evolved because post-reproductive… read more here.
