Prevalence and adaptive impact of introgression

NB Edelman, J Mallet - Annual Review of Genetics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Alleles that introgress between species can influence the evolutionary and ecological fate of
species exposed to novel environments. Hybrid offspring of different species are often unfit …

Why are species' traits weak predictors of range shifts?

SR Beissinger, EA Riddell - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
We examine the evidence linking species' traits to contemporary range shifts and find they
are poor predictors of range shifts that have occurred over decades to a century. We then …

Bacterial motility can govern the dynamics of antibiotic resistance evolution

V Piskovsky, NM Oliveira - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
Spatial heterogeneity in antibiotic concentrations is thought to accelerate the evolution of
