Abstract: The zone of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster represents the largest area of chronic low‐intensity radioactive impact on the natural ecosystems. The effects of chronic low‐dose irradiation for natural populations of organisms and their offspring are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10522-018-09791-1
Abstract: Artificial selection for increased life span in experimental populations of Drosophila melanogaster sometimes produces long-lived populations that exhibit greater fecundity than unselected controls. The absence of a trade-off between survival and reproduction in these cases… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14007
Abstract: Speciation is driven by traits that can act to prevent mating between nascent lineages, including male courtship and female preference for male traits. Mating barriers involving these traits evolve quickly because there is strong selection… read more here.
