Understanding how organisms adapt to the environment is a major goal of modern biology.
Parallel evolution—the independent evolution of similar phenotypes in different populations …

Evolutionary ecologists aim to explain and predict evolutionary change under different
selective regimes. Theory suggests that such evolutionary prediction should be more difficult …

Species living in distinct habitats often experience unique ecological selective pressures,
which can drive phenotypic divergence. However, how ecophenotypic patterns are affected …

Phenotypic diversity, or disparity, can be explained by simple genetic drift or, if functional
constraints are strong, by selection for ecologically relevant phenotypes. We here studied …

Hybridization increases genetic variation, hence hybrid species may have greater
evolutionary potential once their admixed genomes have stabilized and incompatibilities …

Aim Species living in a shared environment face similar selective pressures and often
evolve adaptive divergence to avoid competition. Quantifying phenotypic divergence and its …

Most natural environments exhibit a substantial component of random variation. Such
environmental noise is expected to cause random fluctuations in natural selection, affecting …
