Although the effects of dispersal on the dynamics of two-patch metapopulations are well studied, potential interactions between local dynamics and asymmetric dispersal remain unexplored. We examined the dynamics of two ...
The standard view of adaptation to larval crowding in fruitflies, built on results from 25 years of multiple experimental evolution studies on Drosophila melanogaster, was that enhanced competitive ability evolves primarily ...
Multiple experimental evolution studies on Drosophila melanogaster in the 1980s and 1990s indicated that enhanced competitive ability evolved primarily through increased larval tolerance to nitrogenous wastes and increased ...

In recent years, there have been many calls for an extended evolutionary synthesis, based in part upon growing evidence for nongenetic mechanisms of inheritance, i.e., similarities in phenotype between parents and offspring ...
Much research in metapopulation dynamics has concentrated on identifying factors that affect coherence in spatially structured systems. In this regard, conditions for the attainment of out-of-phase dynamics have received ...
