Evolutionary principles guiding amphibian conservation
The Anthropocene has witnessed catastrophic amphibian declines across the globe. A
multitude of new, primarily human‐induced drivers of decline may lead to extinction, but can …

Eco‐evolutionary consequences of habitat warming and fragmentation in communities
Eco‐evolutionary dynamics can mediate species and community responses to habitat
warming and fragmentation, two of the largest threats to biodiversity and ecosystems. The …

Rapid adaptation to invasive predators overwhelms natural gradients of intraspecific variation
Invasive predators can exert strong selection on native populations. If selection is strong
enough, populations could lose the phenotypic variation caused by adaptation to …

Advancing understanding of amphibian evolution, ecology, behavior, and conservation with massively parallel sequencing
Genomics has great potential to advance understanding of amphibian evolution, ecology,
and behavior, as well as to improve conservation of this highly imperiled class of …

Habitat‐linked genetic variation supports microgeographic adaptive divergence in an Island‐endemic bird species
We investigated the potential mechanisms driving habitat‐linked genetic divergence within a
bird species endemic to a single 250‐km2 island. The island scrub‐jay (Aphelocoma …

Warming strengthens the ecological role of intraspecific variation in a predator
Recent work shows communities and ecosystems can be shaped by predator intraspecific
variation, but it is unclear whether the magnitude and direction of these influences are …

Fitter frogs from polluted ponds: The complex impacts of human‐altered environments
Human‐modified habitats rarely yield outcomes that are aligned with conservation ideals.
Landscapes that are subdivided by roads are no exception, precipitating negative impacts …

Microhabitat contributes to microgeographic divergence in threespine stickleback
Abstract Since the New Synthesis, most migration-selection balance theory has predicted
that there should be negligible differentiation over small spatial scales (relative to dispersal) …

Outbreeding reduces survival during metamorphosis in a headwater stream salamander
Assessing direct fitness effects of individual genetic diversity is challenging due to the
intensive and long‐term data needed to quantify survival and reproduction in the wild. But …

A Multigenerational Field Experiment on Eco-evolutionary Dynamics of the Influential Lizard Anolis sagrei: A Mid-term Report
Only a handful of multi-generational experiments in natural systems of eco-evolutionary
dynamics currently exist, despite Fussmann et al.'s call for more such studies nearly a …
