As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by
rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural …

The process of adaptive radiation—the proliferation of species from a single ancestor and
diversification into many ecologically different forms—has been of great interest to …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

How ecological niche breadth evolves is central to adaptation and speciation and has been
a topic of perennial interest. Niche breadth evolution research has occurred within …

Speciation is the process by which barriers to gene flow evolve between populations.
Although we now know that speciation is largely driven by natural selection, knowledge of …

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

Personality differences are a widespread phenomenon throughout the animal kingdom. Past
research has focused on the characterization of such differences and a quest for their …

Speciation is often thought of as a slow process due to the waiting times for mutations that
cause incompatibilities, and permit ecological differentiation or assortative mating. Cases of …

Stable isotope analysis has emerged as one of the primary means for examining the
structure and dynamics of food webs, and numerous analytical approaches are now …

Competition can result in evolutionary changes to coexistence between competitors but
there are no theoretical models that predict how the components of coexistence change …
