At the heart of the analyses of landscape genetics are isolation models seeking to explain either interindividual or interpopulation connectivity. These models use spatial, ecological, and topographic predictor variables measured between sites i[...]

Although their diversity greatly exceeds that of plants and animals, microbial organisms have historically received less attention in ecology and evolutionary biology research. This knowledge gap is rapidly closing, owing to recent technological[...]

Coral reefs are considered one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to ongoing global climate change. However, geographic and taxonomic responses to climate change are highly variable, and fundamental aspects of key research approaches remain unres[...]

Ecological resilience is the ability of a system to persist in the face of perturbations. Although resilience has been a highly influential concept, its interpretation has remained largely qualitative. Here we describe an emerging family of meth[...]

The flora of southern Africa is, for its latitude and area, very species-rich. Although the hyperdiverse Cape flora contributes almost half of this richness, three other radiations (desert, grassland, and woodland) contribute significantly to th[...]

Learning how complex traits like eves originate is fundamental for understanding evolution. In this review, we first sketch historical perspectives on trait origins and argue that new technologies afford key new insights. Next, we articulate fou[...]

We present strong evidence that pathogens play a critical role in structuring plant communities and maintaining plant diversity. Pathogens mediate plant species coexistence through trade-offs between competitive ability and resistance to pathoge[...]

We review patterns and causes of beta-diversity in the deep-sea benthos at different spatial scales and for different body sizes. Changes in species composition occurring with depth are generally gradual, the rate of change being a function of t[...]

Coevolution is among the most important evolutionary processes that generate biological diversity. Plant pollinator interactions play a prominent role in the evolution of reproductive traits in flowering plants. Likewise, plant herbivore interac[...]

Selling has evolved in animals, fungi, and plants, and since Darwin's pioneering study, it is considered one of the most frequent evolutionary trends in flowering plants. Generally, the evolution of selling is characterized by a loss of self-inc[...]

Mobilization of DNA by horizontal gene transfer (IIGT) is an important process in the evolution of many organisms because it allows the recipient lineage to rapidly acquire metabolic innovations and adapt to new ecological niches. However, the s[...]

Farth's climate has experienced strong changes on timescales ranging from decades to millions of years. As biodiversity has evolved under these circumstances, dependence on these climate dynamics is expected. In this review, we assess the curren[...]
