Data from: Running with the Red Queen: host-parasite coevolution selects for ...
Most organisms reproduce through outcrossing, even though it comes with significant costs. The Red Queen hypothesis proposes that selection from coevolving pathogens facilitates... -
Data from: Testing for differences in rates of speciation, extinction, and mo...
Patterns of morphological disparity yield important insight into the causes of diversification and adaptive radiation in East African cichlids. However, comparisons of cichlid... -
Data from: Species delimitation in fungal endophyte diversity studies and its...
The estimation of species diversity in fungal endophyte communities is based either on species counts or the assignment of operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Consequently, the... -
Data from: Asymmetric dispersal and colonization success of Amazonian plant-a...
Background: The dispersal ability of queens is central to understanding ant life-history evolution, and plays a fundamental role in ant population and community dynamics, the... -
Data from: Stronger convex (stabilizing) selection on homologous sexual displ...
Mutual mate choice for homologous sexual display traits has been demonstrated in Mutual mate choice for homologous sexual display traits has been demonstrated in several recent... -
Data from: Genetic diversity and multiple origins of polyploid Atriplex nummu...
Few studies have described the genetic diversity within and between populations of polyploid plant species despite the general acceptance of the importance of polyploidy in... -
Data from: Gene transcription in sea otters (Enhydra lutris): development of ...
Gene transcription analysis for diagnosing or monitoring wildlife health requires the ability to distinguish pathophysiological change from natural variation. Herein we describe... -
Data from: Small founding number and low genetic diversity in an introduced s...
Molecular evaluations of successful invaders are common, however studies of introduced species that have had limited invasion success, or have died out completely, are rare. We... -
Data from: Reverse evolution: selection against costly resistance in disease-...
Evolutionary costs of parasite resistance arise if genes conferring resistance reduce fitness in the absence of parasites. Thus, parasite-mediated selection may lead to... -
Data from: The geographic structure of selection on a coevolving interaction ...
Social parasites exploit societies, rather than organisms, and rear their brood in social insect colonies at the expense of their hosts, triggering a coevolutionary process that... -
Data from: Dispersal promotes compensatory dynamics and stability in forced m...
Understanding the factors that govern the stability of populations and communities has gained increasing importance as habitat fragmentation and environmental perturbations... -
Data from: Population and life-history consequences of within-cohort individu...
The consequences of within-cohort (i.e., among-individual) variation for population dynamics are poorly understood, in particular for the case where life history is density... -
Data from: Geographic variation in phenotypic plasticity in response to disso...
Genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity are two ways in which organisms can adapt to local environmental conditions. We examined genetic and plastic variation in gill and... -

Data from: Additional molecular support for the new chordate phylogeny
Recent phylogenomic analyses have suggested tunicates instead of cephalochordates as the closest living relatives of vertebrates. In direct contradiction with the long accepted... -
Data from: Worldwide patterns of genetic differentiation imply multiple "dome...
Understanding the processes by which species colonize and adapt to human habitats is particularly important in the case of disease-vectoring arthropods. The mosquito species... -
Data from: Deciphering information encoded in birdsong: male songbirds with f...
Research on the function of acoustic signals has focused on high-amplitude, long-range song (LRS) and largely ignored low-amplitude songs produced by many species during... -
Data from: Variable helper effects, ecological conditions, and the evolution ...
The ecological conditions leading to delayed dispersal and helping behavior are generally thought to follow one of two contrasting scenarios: that conditions are stable and... -
Data from: Heterozygosity-fitness correlations in a migratory bird: an analys...
Studies in a multitude of taxa have described a correlation between heterozygosity and fitness, and usually conclude that this is evidence for inbreeding depression. Here we...
