Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

Colour polymorphisms (CP's) continue to be of interest to evolutionary biologists because of
their general tractability, importance in studies of selection and potential role in speciation …

Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

The causes and mechanisms of evolutionary diversification are central issues in biology.
Geographic isolation is the traditional explanation for diversification, but recent theoretical …

Evolutionary hypotheses to explain the greater numbers of species in the tropics than the
temperate zone include greater age and area, higher temperature and metabolic rates, and …

Rapid diversification often involves complex histories of gene flow that leave variable and
conflicting signatures of evolutionary relatedness across the genome. Identifying the extent …

Evolutionary biologists have often assumed that ecological generalism comes at the
expense of less intense exploitation of specific resources and that this trade-off will promote …

Diversity in adaptive responses is common within species and populations, especially when
the heterogeneity of the frequently large populations found in environments is considered …

Most evolutionary thinking is based on the notion of fitness and related ideas such as fitness
landscapes and evolutionary optima. Nevertheless, it is often unclear what fitness actually is …

Coevolutionary interactions between species are thought to be an important cause of
evolutionary diversification. Despite this general belief, little theoretical basis exists for …
