Dispersal evolution and eco-evolutionary dynamics in antagonistic species interactions
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Apr 17:S0169-5347(24)00075-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.03.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDispersal evolution modifies diverse spatial processes, such as range expansions or biological invasions of single species, but we are currently lacking a realistic vision for metacommunities. Focusing on antagonistic species interactions, we review existing theory of dispersal evolution between natural enemies, and explain how this might be relevant for classic themes in host-parasite evolutionary ecology, namely virulence evolution or local adaptation. Specifically, we highlight the importance of considerin...

Testes size seen through the glass of amphibian care
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Apr 9:S0169-5347(24)00083-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.04.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the great diversity of parental care types found in amphibians, studies linking them to post-copulatory sexually selected traits are scarce, presumably due to a lack of data. Valencia-Aguilar et al. used fieldwork and museum collections to show that paternal care appears to trade-off with testes size in glass frogs.PMID:38599935 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.04.001 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)

Pangenomes at the limits of evolution

New uses for ancient middens: bridging ecological and evolutionary perspectives
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Mar 28:S0169-5347(23)00334-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.12.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRodent middens provide a fine-scale spatiotemporal record of plant and animal communities over the late Quaternary. In the Americas, middens have offered insight into biotic responses to past environmental changes and historical factors influencing the distribution and diversity of species. However, few studies have used middens to investigate genetic or ecosystem level responses. Integrating midden studies with neoecology and experimental evolution can help address these gaps and test mechanisms underlying e...
