Optimality, mutation and the evolution of ageing
TL;DR: Evidence for the importance of both selection against late-acting mutations and selection against deleterious mutations is emerging, and unravelling their relative importance presents experimentalists with a major challenge.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate, at both the genomic and phenotypic level, that antagonistic coevolution is a cause of rapid and divergent evolution, and is likely to be a major driver of evolutionary change within species.
ecology, and evolution of plants: toward a unified definition and evaluation of their consequences
TL;DR: This work proposes that extreme events need be defined in terms of organismal responses of acclimation and of de-acclimation or hysteresis, and develops a number of hypotheses, including that fitness effects of extreme events occur primarily during recovery.

Extreme events as shaping physiology, ecology, and evolution of plants: toward a unified definition and evaluation of their consequences
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider how extreme events, particularly climatic and biotic, affect the physiology, development, ecology and evolution of organisms, focusing on plants and propose that extreme events need to be defined in terms of organismal responses of acclimation and of de-acclimation or hysteresis.

The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection
TL;DR: Although it is true that most text-books of genetics open with a chapter on biometry, closer inspection will reveal that this has little connexion with the body of the work, and that more often than not it is merely belated homage to a once fashionable study.
Book
Fundamentals of ecology
TL;DR: This book discusses the role of energy in Ecological Systems, its role in ecosystem development, and its implications for future generations of ecologists.
