Experimentally simulating the evolution-to-ecology connection: Divergent predator morphologies alter natural food webs.

TL;DR: This paper assessed the ecological impact of divergent values in a key adaptive trait using 16 populations of the brown anole lizard (Anolis sagrei) and found that on islands with a high density of short-limbed lizards, web-spiders densities decreased and plants grew more via an indirect positive effect, likely through an herbivore-mediated trophic cascade.

Estimating encounter rates as the first step of sexual selection in the lizard Anolis sagrei

TL;DR: This work used an explicitly spatiotemporal Markov chain model to estimate the number of potential mates of Anolis sagrei lizards from their movement behavior, and used genetic paternity assignments to quantify sexual selection on males.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urban evolutionary ecology brings exaptation back into focus.

TL;DR: The authors revisited the ideas of Gould and Vrba as an integrated framework to understand contemporary evolution in novel environments and used the recent emergence of urban evolutionary ecology as a timely opportunity to reintroduce the ideas.
