Digest: Evolutionary rescue following the introduction of a pathogen

Archive ouverte

Aubier, Thomas, G | Olazcuaga, Laure

Edité par CCSD ; Wiley -

International audience. To what extent can adaptive evolution rescue a population from extinction following the introduction of a pathogen? Searle and Christie (2021) show how evolutionary rescues in host-pathogen systems may differ from those that occur in response to abiotic changes. In particular, they pinpoint how epidemiological feedback and pathogen evolution, inherent to host-pathogen systems, can greatly affect the likelihood of rescue.

International audience. Conspecific negative density dependence is ubiquitous and has long been recognized as an important factor favoring the coexistence of competing species at local scale. By contrast, a positive...

Costs of choosiness can promote reproductive isolation in parapatry

Archive ouverte | Aubier, Thomas, G | CCSD

Abstract Species often replace each other spatially along contact zones, giving scope for parapatric speciation. In models of parapatric speciation driven by assortative mating, costs of female choosiness have so far be ignored. Y...

International audience. Cooperation does not occur in a vacuum: interactions develop over time in social groups that undergo demographic changes. Intuition suggests that stable social environments favour developing ...
