This study examines how competition affects evolutionary rescue in ecological communities, showing that survival interference reduces rescued species but weakens with diversity.

The paper uses genetic data and ecological models to infer that canopy-forming kelps in the Northeast Pacific survived in northern refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum.

The paper examines how stronger selection affects evolutionary rescue across different population genetic models and finds that it can only facilitate rescue if it increases the absolute fitness of the rescue homozygote.

The paper extends Brownian motion models to ancestral recombination graphs for spatial inference but finds biases in dispersal rate and ancestor location estimates due to discrepancies at recombination events.

The paper shows how genotype-by-environment interactions can maintain genetic variation in mutualisms by analyzing game-theoretic models and transplant experiments.

This paper introduces quasi-epigenetic equilibrium (QEE) to simplify population epigenetic models and shows how epigenetics affects evolutionary parameters and extinction risk.
