Evolution is rapidly gaining attention as an important driver of ecological process. Yet,
evolution via sexual selection has generally been omitted from this emerging synthesis. Our …

Body size often varies among insular populations relative to continental conspecifics–the
'island rule'–and functional, context‐dependent morphological differences tend to track this …

Rapid adaptive changes can result from the drastic alterations humans impose on
ecosystems. For example, flooding large areas for hydroelectric dams converts …

Island populations may evolve distinct behavioral repertoires as a response to the
conditions of insular life. Strong intraspecific competition is typical in insular lizards and may …

Color polymorphism defies evolutionary expectations as striking phenotypic variation is
maintained within a single species. Color and other traits mediate social interactions, and …

A classic question in evolutionary biology is whether behavioral flexibility hastens or hinders
evolutionary change. The latter idea, that behavior reduces the number of environmental …

Previous studies based on two-dimensional methods have suggested that the great
morphological variability of cranial shape in domestic dogs has impacted bite performance …

While global patterns in body size evolution in island vertebrates have been described
extensively, the ecological processes that generate these patterns are not well understood …

The evolution of sexual dimorphism (SD) is driven by intricate interplays between sexual
and natural selection. When it comes to SD variation within populations, however …

Access to resources is a dynamic and multicausal process that determines the success and
survival of a population. It is therefore often challenging to disentangle the factors affecting …
