Pre-dispersal conditions and presence of opposite sex modulate density dependence and sex bias of dispersal

This study examines how pre-dispersal density and sex interactions affect density-dependent dispersal in Drosophila melanogaster, showing that sex-biased dispersal can reverse under certain conditions.

Simultaneous evolution of multiple dispersal components and kernel

This study shows that multiple dispersal traits and their kernel evolve simultaneously in Drosophila melanogaster under artificial selection, leading to increased long-distance dispersers.

Escherichia coli populations adapt to complex, unpredictable fluctuations by minimizing trade-offs across environments

This study shows that Escherichia coli populations adapt better to fluctuating complex environments by reducing trade-offs between growth rates and carrying capacities compared to constant stress environments.

Environmental fluctuations do not select for increased variation or population-based resistance in Escherichia coli

This study shows that environmental fluctuations do not increase variation or population-based resistance in E. coli, suggesting individual-level selection drives fitness in novel environments.

Simultaneous enhancement of multiple stability properties using two-parameter control methods in Drosophila melanogaster

This study evaluates two control methods for stabilizing unstable Drosophila populations, finding that both reduce fluctuations, extinction risk, and increase effective population size more effectively than single-parameter methods.

Stabilizing the dynamics of laboratory populations of Drosophila melanogaster through upper and lower limiter controls

This study tests two population control methods on Drosophila melanogaster to improve stability, finding that Upper Limiter Control reduces fluctuations and extinction risk but requires more effort, while Lower Limiter Control increases effective population size with less effort.

Rethinking inheritance, yet again: inheritomes, contextomes and dynamic phenotypes

The paper proposes a framework for an extended view of inheritance that integrates non-genetic mechanisms and discusses its implications for evolutionary dynamics and simulation studies.

E. coli populations in unpredictably fluctuating environments evolve to face novel stresses through enhanced efflux activity

This study shows that E. coli populations evolving in fluctuating environments develop enhanced efflux activity, leading to increased fitness in novel stress conditions without evolving hypermutators.
