Food availability early in life impacts among and within individual variation in behaviour

This study shows that early food availability affects individual variation in behavior, with different impacts depending on context and developmental conditions.

Frequent sexual reproduction limits adaptation in outcrossed populations of the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This study shows that frequent sexual reproduction hinders adaptation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii populations, suggesting strong evolutionary costs of sex.

The effect of heterospecific and conspecific competition on inter-individual differences in tungara frog tadpole (Engystomops pustulosus) behaviour

This study examines how competition with conspecifics or heterospecifics affects inter-individual behavioural differences in tungara frog tadpoles, finding species-specific impacts on behavioural consistency and variance.

The distribution of fitness effects of spontaneous mutations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii inferred using frequency changes under experimental evolution

The paper infers the distribution of fitness effects of mutations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by analyzing frequency changes under experimental evolution and finds a leptokurtic distribution with equal positive and negative effects.

The effects of sex on extinction dynamics and evolutionary rescue of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii depend on the rate of environmental change

This study shows that sex affects extinction dynamics and evolutionary rescue in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, with different reproductive modes being advantageous under varying environmental change rates.

Direct inference of the distribution of fitness effects of spontaneous mutations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The paper infers the distribution of fitness effects of spontaneous mutations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using a Bayesian mixture model and mutation accumulation experiments.

Non-heritable variation in individual fitness adds stability to neutral theories in ecology and evolution

The paper shows that non-heritable fitness variation stabilizes coexistence in ecological and evolutionary models without requiring niche differentiation.
