Harnessing the process of natural selection to obtain and understand new microbial
phenotypes has become increasingly possible due to advances in culturing techniques …

All life forms across the globe are experiencing drastic changes in environmental conditions
as a result of global climate change. These environmental changes are happening rapidly …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

The face of evolutionary biology is changing: from reconstructing and analysing the past to
predicting future evolutionary processes. Recent developments include prediction of …

Closely related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments.
However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential and …

In nature conservation, there is keen interest in predicting how populations will respond to
environmental changes such as climate change. These predictions can help determine …

Adaptive evolution plays a large role in generating the phenotypic diversity observed in
nature, yet current methods are impractical for characterizing the molecular basis and fitness …

Humans cause widespread evolutionary change in nature, but we still know little about the
genomic basis of rapid adaptation in the Anthropocene. We tracked genomic changes …

Studies of invasive species can simultaneously inform management strategies and quantify
rapid evolution in the wild. The role of genomics in invasion science is increasingly …

Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are well aware that natural and sexual selection do
not operate on traits in isolation, but instead act on combinations of traits. This long …
