DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16160
Abstract: PREMISE Fire induces flowering in many plant species worldwide, potentially improving reproductive fitness via greater availability of resources, as evident in flowering effort, and improved pollination outcomes, as evident by seed set. Post-fire increases in… read more here.

Reproductive fitness and genetic risk of psychiatric disorders in the general population
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15833
Abstract: The persistence of common, heritable psychiatric disorders that reduce reproductive fitness is an evolutionary paradox. Here, we investigate the selection pressures on sequence variants that predispose to schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, major depression and attention… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15390
Abstract: In species with complex life cycles, life history theory predicts that fitness is affected by conditions encountered in previous life history stages. Here, we use a 4‐year pedigree to investigate if time spent in two… read more here.

Contrasting gene‐level signatures of selection with reproductive fitness
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.16329
Abstract: Selection leaves signatures in the DNA sequence of genes, with many test statistics devised to detect its action. While these statistics are frequently used to support hypotheses about the adaptive significance of particular genes, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2021/6649038
Abstract: Background Genetic modification offers opportunities to introduce artificially created molecular defence mechanisms to vector mosquitoes to counter diseases causing pathogens such as the dengue virus, malaria parasite, and Zika virus. RNA interference is such a… read more here.

Habitat-Specific Clock Variation and Its Consequence on Reproductive Fitness

DOI: 10.1177/0748730419896486
Abstract: The circadian clock controls daily activities at the cellular and organismic level, allowing an organism to anticipate incoming stresses and to use resources accordingly. The circadian clock has therefore been considered a fitness trait in… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4357907
Abstract: Diet can have a direct influence on the reproductive success of parasitoid wasps. For synovigenic parasitoids, the nutrients obtained from floral resources, such as nectar and pollen, play a vital role in fueling bodily functions… read more here.

Fluctuating asymmetry, parasitism and reproductive fitness in two species of gammarid crustacean.

DOI: 10.3354/dao03395
Abstract: Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), defined as random deviations from perfect bilateral symmetry, is assumed to reflect developmental instability. FA is predicted to increase in response to environmental stress, including parasite infection. In addition, based on theory… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants11091240
Abstract: Plants are concurrently exposed to biotic and abiotic stresses, including infection by viruses and drought. Combined stresses result in plant responses that are different from those observed for each individual stress. We investigated compensatory effects… read more here.
