Diversity in warning coloration: selective paradox or the norm?
Aposematic theory has historically predicted that predators should select for warning signals
to converge on a single form, as a result of frequency‐dependent learning. However …

The persistence of polymorphisms across species radiations
Studies on polymorphisms have been foundational to our understanding of evolution. The
presence of different phenotypic morphs is sometimes considered a precursor to speciation …

[LIVRO][B] Avoiding attack: the evolutionary ecology of crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry
Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

Hybridization can promote adaptive radiation by means of transgressive segregation
Understanding the mechanisms of rapid adaptive radiation has been a central problem of
evolutionary ecology. Recently, there is a growing recognition that hybridization between …

Hybrid speciation driven by multilocus introgression of ecological traits
Hybridization allows adaptations to be shared among lineages and may trigger the evolution
of new species,. However, convincing examples of homoploid hybrid speciation remain rare …

The integrative biology of genetic dominance
Dominance is a basic property of inheritance systems describing the link between a diploid
genotype at a single locus and the resulting phenotype. Models for the evolution of …

Polymorphism at a mimicry supergene maintained by opposing frequency-dependent selection pressures
Explaining the maintenance of adaptive diversity within populations is a long-standing goal

What shapes the continuum of reproductive isolation? Lessons from Heliconius butterflies
The process by which species evolve can be illuminated by investigating barriers that limit
gene flow between taxa. Recent radiations, such as Heliconius butterflies, offer the …

Weak warning signals can persist in the absence of gene flow
Aposematic organisms couple conspicuous warning signals with a secondary defense to
deter predators from attacking. Novel signals of aposematic prey are expected to be …
