Predicting rapid adaptation in time from adaptation in space: A 30-year field experiment in marine snails

D Garcia Castillo, N Barton, R Faria, J Larsson… - Science …, 2024 - science.org
Predicting the outcomes of adaptation is a major goal of evolutionary biology. When
temporal changes in the environment mirror spatial gradients, it opens up the potential for …

An Evolutionary Mosaic Challenges Traditional Monitoring of a Foundation Species in a Coastal Environment—The Baltic Fucus vesiculosus

RT Pereyra, A Kinnby, A Le Moan… - Molecular …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
During periods of environmental change, genetic diversity in foundation species is critical for
ecosystem function and resilience, but it remains overlooked in environmental monitoring. In …

Predicting and anticipating rapid evolution

P Nosil - Science, 2024 - science.org
Evolution can be rapid (), as exemplified by arguably the most famous case of evolution by
natural selection. In the early 1900s, a darkly colored form of the peppered moth appeared …

Physical principles underpinning molecular-level protein evolution

JA Vila - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.16245, 2024 - arxiv.org
Since protein mutations are the main driving force of evolution at the molecular level, a
proper analysis of them (and the factors controlling them) will enable us to find a response to …

Ecology not genetics explains correlated trait divergence during speciation

CF de Carvalho, NP Planidin, R Villoutreix… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
The formation of new species often involves the correlated divergence of multiple traits and
genetic regions. However, the mechanisms by which such trait covariation builds up remain …
