Abstract The “Evolution Canyon” model reveals evolution in action across life at a
microscale involving biodiversity divergence, adaptation and incipient sympatric ecological …

Climatic change and stress is a major driving force of evolution. The effects of climate
change on living organisms have been shown primarily on regional and global scales. Here …

The genetic basis of population divergence leading to adaptive radiation and speciation is a
major unresolved problem of evolutionary biology. Molecular elucidation of “speciation …

We examined whether a remarkable occurrence–the physiological evolution of two
Drosophila melanogaster populations, despite a spatial separation of only 100–400 m, was …

We examined the role of small Hsp genes (Hsp23 and Hsp40) and heat shock gene Hsr-
omega in the thermoadaptation of Drosophila melanogaster inhabiting a highly …

Abstract The “Evolution Canyon”(EC) microsite model unfolds active evolution across life. It
highlights biodiversity evolution, ecological sympatric speciation (SS) with gene flow, global …

Environmental stress has been suggested to be a major evolutionary force, both through
inducing strong selection and because of its direct impact on developmental buffering …

Various major evolutionary problems are still open, controversial or unsettled. These include
even the basic evolutionary processes of adaptation and speciation. The “Evolution Canyon” …

Microscale differences in the habitats organisms occupy can influence selection regimes
and promote intraspecific variation of traits. Temperature‐dependent traits can be locally …

Elucidating the causes of population divergence, and ultimately speciation, is a central
objective of evolutionary biology. A number of previous studies of Drosophila populations …
