de Vries, G., Lewis M. A., Eftimie, R.
We consider an one-dimensional nonlocal hyperbolic model for group formation with application to self-organizing collectives of animals in homogeneous environments. Previous studies have shown that this model displays at least four complex spatial and spatiotemporal group patterns. Here, we use...

Fagan, William F., Lewis, Mark A., Neubert, Michael G., Aumann, Craig, Apple, Jennifer L., Bishop, John G.
Here we study the spatial dynamics of a coinvading consumer‐resource pair. We present a theoretical treatment with extensive empirical data from a long‐studied field system in which native herbivorous insects attack a population of lupine plants recolonizing a primary successional landscape...

We examined whether the intense root competition in a rough fescue grassland plant community in central Alberta, Canada, was important in structuring plant species diversity or community composition. We measured competition intensity across gradients of species richness, evenness, and community...

Whole-genome duplication and molecular evolution in Cornus L.(Cornaceae)–Insights from transcriptome sequences

YU, Yan, Soltis, Douglas E, Cheng, Shifeng , Wong, Gane , Manos, Paul S, Song, Bao-Hua , Liu, Xin , Soltis, Pamela S , Xiang, Qiuyun
The pattern and rate of genome evolution have profound consequences in organismal evolution. Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, has been recognized as an important evolutionary mechanism of plant diversification. However, in non-model plants the molecular signals of genome...

Wild salmon sustain the effectiveness of parasite control on salmon farms: Conservation implications from an evolutionary ecosystem service
Download2018-01-01
Kreitzman, Maayan, Ashander, Jaime, Driscoll, John, Bateman, Andrew W., Chan, Kai M.A., Lewis, Mark A., Krkošek, Martin
Rapid evolution can increase or maintain the provision of ecosystem services, motivating the conservation of wild species and communities. We detail one such contemporary evosystem service by synthesizing theoretical evidence that rapid evolution can sustain parasiticide efficacy in salmon...

Potapov, A., Merrill, E., Lewis, M.A.
Disease control by managers is a crucial response to emerging wildlife epidemics, yet the means of control may be limited by the method of disease transmission. In particular, it is widely held that population reduction, while effective for controlling diseases that are subject to...

Reintroduction of wolves (Canis lupus) to Yellowstone National Park in 1995–1996 has been argued to promote a trophic cascade by altering elk (Cervus elaphus) density, habitat-selection patterns, and behavior that, in turn, could lead to changes within the plant communities used by elk. We...
