Structured landscapes promote persistence by favouring prudent predators Open
Evolution can lead to unexpected results. One such case is adaptive decline where, for example, a predator evolves to over-exploit its prey, resulting in population decline and possibly extinction. Using simulation models we explore how th…

Epigenetic induction may speed up or slow down speciation with gene flow Open
Speciation is less likely to occur when there is gene flow between nascent species. Natural selection can oppose gene flow and promote speciation if there is variation in ecological conditions among the nascent species' locations. Previous…

Avoiding extinction under nonlinear environmental change: models of evolutionary rescue with plasticity Open
Rapid environmental changes are putting numerous species at risk of extinction. For migration-limited species, persistence depends on either phenotypic plasticity or evolutionary adaptation (evolutionary rescue). Current theory on evolutio…
