Biotic niche expansion constrains the fundamental abiotic niche: Evidence from experimental evolution

This study shows that expanding a species' biotic niche through experimental evolution reduces its abiotic niche tolerance, supporting the 'Jack-of-all-trades is master of none' hypothesis.

Is passive dispersal informed? - Experimental evidence for decision-making in phytophagous arthropods

The paper tests if host niche breadth influences passive dispersal decisions in phytophagous mites by exposing them to host-derived kairomones and measuring departure rates.

Genomic basis of adaptation to constant and fluctuating environments in a global pest of cereals

This study identifies genomic mechanisms underlying adaptation to constant and fluctuating environments in the cereal pest Aceria tosichella, revealing a polygenic basis involving stress response and detoxification pathways.
