Abstract: Significance Ecological disruption due to human impacts is evident worldwide, and a key to mitigation lies in characterizing the underlying mechanisms of species and ecosystem stability. Here we show that three extensive “supergenes” are maintained… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.0926
Abstract: Warning signal variation is ubiquitous but paradoxical: low variability should aid recognition and learning by predators. However, spatial variability in the direction and strength of selection for individual elements of the warning signal may allow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.0141
Abstract: The vast variation in floral traits across angiosperms is often interpreted as the result of adaptation to pollinators. However, studies in wild populations often find no evidence of pollinator-mediated selection on flowers. Evolutionary theory predicts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14010
Abstract: Whole‐genome duplication is a common mutation in eukaryotes with far‐reaching phenotypic effects. The resulting morphological, physiological and fitness consequences and how they affect the survival probability of polyploid lineages are intensively studied, but little is… read more here.
