Genome size variation within Crithmum maritimum: Clues on the colonization of insular environments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10009
Abstract: Abstract Angiosperms present an astonishing diversity of genome sizes that can vary intra‐ or interspecifically. The remarkable new cytogenomic data shed some light on our understanding of evolution, but few studies were performed with insular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00606-017-1402-2
Abstract: Apomixis is the ability of plants to produce asexual seeds, which are clones of the mother plant. The phenomenon of apomixis is tightly linked to ploidy, where diploids lack apomixis and reproduce sexually, while higher… read more here.

Predation decreases cohort foraging activity and growth, yet increases individual size variation in prey
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Evolutionary Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10682-019-09977-0
Abstract: There is increasing evidence that size variability within a cohort can have important consequences on community ecology and evolution. It is commonly assumed that the threat of predation can influence cohort size variability by homogenizing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3794-6
Abstract: A key question in ecological speciation is to understand the causes and consequences of phenotypic divergence among populations. In this work, we analyzed the body shape and size variation in Jenynsia lineata across different coastal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12224-018-9330-7
Abstract: The genus Andryala includes diploid plants distributed in the Mediterranean Basin, Macaronesia and in one isolated outpost in the Romanian Carpathians. We analysed nuclear genome size in a phylogenetic framework and assessed relationships between genome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fuel.2020.119460
Abstract: Abstract The influence of particle size variation on particle concentration measurement via light extinction is a major challenge in the field, particularly when particle shape and composition can alter the size effect. In this study,… read more here.

Extreme natural size variation in both sexes of a sexually cannibalistic mantidfly
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220544
Abstract: In sexually cannibalistic animals, the relative sizes of potential mates often predict the outcome of aggressive encounters. Mantidflies are spider egg predators as larvae and generalist predators as adults. Unlike most cannibalistic species, there is… read more here.
