... Understanding the ecological drivers and limitations of adaptive convergence is a fundamental challenge. Here, we explore how adaptive convergence of planktivorous fishes has been influenced by multiple ecological factors, evolutionary history, and chance. Using ecomorphological data for over 1600 marine...

We used genetic, biochemical, and functional methods to characterise the substrate-binding effects of changes in ABCG43 expression, including differences in exudate composition, and phylogenetic analyses to explore the evolutionary...

Here, we investigate whether the length of “evolutionary strata” formed by chromosomal inversions (or other large-effect recombination modifiers) expanding...

Phylogenetic analysis of evolutionary rate covariation (ERC) in protein sequence has been shown to be effective for large-scale prediction of functional relationships and interactions. However, gene duplication, gene loss, and other sources...

To promote the sharing of private parking spaces, we use a complex network evolutionary game method to depict the impact of owners’ unfavourable relationships on individuals’ decision processes in real time and explore the impact of management mechanisms on owners’ willingness...

We show why accounting for tip fog remains critical by showing its impact on continuous comparative models and discrete comparative and diversification models. We rederive methods to estimate...

Abstract Background and Aims Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are essential for quantifying the role of terrestrial ecosystems in the Earth’s climate system, but struggle with uncertainty and complexity. Eco-evolutionary optimality (EEO) theory provides a promising approach...

Here, we describe a new fertile marchantioid fossil from the Late Triassic of Argentina and assess its...

Genomes with these characteristics arguably represent a new class of paleopolyploid taxa because they possess evolutionary patterns distinct from the more common and well-known paradigm of the rapid loss of many of the duplicated pairs created by polyploidy. polyploidy...
