Evolution and Mechanisms of Plasticity in Wild Baboons (Papio cynocephalus)
(2017)
In many species, early life experiences have striking effects on health, reproduction,
and survival in adulthood. Thus, early life conditions shape a range of evolutionarily
relevant traits, and in doing so alter ...
The Roles of Phenotypic Plasticity and Plant-Microbe Interactions in the Evolution of Complex Traits in Boechera stricta
(2016)
All organisms live in complex habitats that shape the course of their evolution by
altering the phenotype expressed by a given genotype (a phenomenon known as phenotypic
plasticity) and simultaneously by determining the ...
Mechanisms of Habitat Segregation Between Co-Occurring Monkeyflower Species
(2017)
Closely related, ecologically similar species are often separated at a small scale
while being broadly sympatric. In Northern California’s coast range two monkeyflower
species, Mimulus guttatus and Mimulus nudatus co-occur ...
Phenotypic and Genetic Diversity in the Sea Urchin Lytechinus Variegatus
(2011)
Diversity in coloration is a common phenomenon in marine invertebrates, although the
ecological significance of the diversity is often unknown. Patterns of geographic
variability, particularly with respect to color phenotypes, ...
The Evolution and Genetics of Reinforcement in Phlox Drummondii
(2010)
One of the major goals of evolutionary biology is understanding the process of species
formation. There is particular interest in how selection can favor species formation
through the process of reinforcement. When two ...
The Genetics of Adaptation to a Harsh Granite Outcrop Environment in Mimulus
(2014)
Closely related populations or species often occupy ecologically disparate habitats.
Adaptation to new habitats can maintain genetic variation within a species or eventually
lead to speciation. Local adaptation to different ...
