Evolutionary Ecology: Old Ideas Percolate into Ecology
A novel model derived from percolation theory suggests that phase polyphenism may have initially evolved in locusts as a behavioural strategy to reduce the connectivity between patches of vulnerable prey, so reducing predation risk.
متن کاملEvolutionary Ecology: Insect Mothers Control Their Egg Colours
Animal egg coloration has long provided a valuable testing ground for evolutionary ideas. A new study shows that female stink bugs can flexibly control the colour of their eggs depending on the prevailing conditions, including for protection from ultraviolet light.
متن کاملIron, infection and the evolutionary ecology of heart disease.
Levels of iron intake and stored iron have been implicated as risk factors for coronary heart disease. More recently, considerable interest has centered on the role of a variety of infectious pathogens, particulary bacterial pathogens, in the development of artherosclerosis and heart disease. The mechanism whereby elevated iron levels increase the risk of coronary heart disease is not well unde...
متن کاملApplying evolutionary concepts to wildlife disease ecology and management
Existing and emerging infectious diseases are among the most pressing global threats to biodiversity, food safety and human health. The complex interplay between host, pathogen and environment creates a challenge for conserving species, communities and ecosystem functions, while mediating the many known ecological and socio-economic negative effects of disease. Despite the clear ecological and ...
متن کاملEpidemiology meets evolutionary ecology
The rapid expansion and increasing mobility of human populations make understanding the evolution of parasite virulence a public health priority. The potential for the swift evolution of virulence in response to changes in host ecology has motivated the integration of evolutionary ecology with epidemiological theory, as part of the emerging field of evolutionary epidemiology. Virulence is the p...
