Rapid Parallel Adaptation to Anthropogenic Heavy Metal Pollution.
The impact of human-mediated environmental change on the evolutionary trajectories of wild organisms is poorly understood. In particular, capacity of species to adapt rapidly (in hundreds of generations or less), reproducibly and predictably to extreme environmental change is unclear. Silene uniflora is predominantly a coastal species, but it has also...Papadopulos, Alexander S.T. ; Helmstetter, Andrew J. ; Osborne, Owen G. ; Comeault, Aaron A. ; Wood, Daniel P. …

Effect of habitat fragmentation on seed dispersal ability of a wind-dispersed annual in an agroecosystem
Deficient dispersal ability due to habitat fragmentation adversely impact demographic connectivity and gene flow among population in a metapopulation, and therefore potentially leads to local extinction. A rich body of theoretical work provides distinct predictions regarding the distribution of dispersal abilities in relation to fragmentation gradient. Yet, empirical data remains...Chen, Si-Chong ; Dener, Efrat ; Altman, Ariel ; Chen, Fang ; Giladi, Itamar
