Colonization of novel habitats can result in marked phenotypic responses to the new
environment that include changes in body shape and opportunities for further morphological …

The past few years have seen an absolute revolution in genomic technologies and their
potential applications to ecology and evolutionary biology research. Such advances open …

Understanding the genetic architecture of evolutionary change remains a long-standing goal
in biology. In vertebrates, skeletal evolution has contributed greatly to adaptation in body …

Determining the genetic bases of adaptations and their roles in speciation is a prominent
issue in evolutionary biology. Cichlid fish species flocks are a prime example of recent rapid …

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are inundating the upper ocean, acidifying the water, and
altering the habitat for marine phytoplankton. These changes are thought to be particularly …

Animal hosts must co-exist with beneficial microbes while simultaneously being able to
mount rapid, non-specific, innate immune responses to pathogenic microbes. How this …

Divergence in body shape is one of the most widespread and repeated patterns of
morphological variation in fishes and is associated with habitat specification and swimming …

Parallel changes in body shape may evolve in response to similar environmental conditions,
but whether such parallel phenotypic changes share a common genetic basis is still …

For over a century, evolutionary biologists have debated whether and how phenotypic
plasticity impacts the processes of adaptation and diversification. The empirical tests …

Phenotypic plasticity can influence evolutionary change in a lineage, ranging from
facilitation of population persistence in a novel environment to directing the patterns of …
