As blooms of cyanobacteria expand and intensify in freshwater systems globally, there is
increasing interest in their ecological effects. In addition to being public health hazards …

Conservation biologists assign population distinctiveness by classifying populations as
evolutionarily significant units (ESUs). Historically, this classification has included ecological …

Adaptive radiation is the evolution of diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage. It can
cause a single ancestral species to differentiate into an impressively vast array of species …

Recent years have seen a debate over various methods that could objectively prioritize
conservation value below the species level. Most prominent among these has been the …

Conservation planning has tended to focus more on pattern (representation) than process
(persistence) and, for the former, has emphasized species and ecosystem or community …

Short-term evolutionary potential depends on the additive genetic variance in the
population. The additive variance is often measured as heritability, the fraction of the total …

In plant conservation, restoration (the augmentation or reestablishment of an extinct
population or community) is a valuable tool to mitigate the loss of habitat. However …

▪ Abstract Most models of optimal progeny size assume that there is a trade-off between
progeny size and number, and that progeny fitness increases with increasing investment per …

This book celebrates the guppy's unique contribution to evolutionary ecology. Ever since
Caryl Haskins described guppy populations as a'natural experiment'because of the way …

Many aquatic organisms rely on passive transport of resting stages for their dispersal. In this
review, we provide evidence pointing to the high dispersal capacity of both animals …
