Research highlights for issue 10: understanding complex lifecycles
Many parasites, including those of relevance to human health, use multiple hosts in order to complete their lifecycle. These complex lifecycles are somewhat mysterious from an evolutionary perspective, as the reliance on more than one host species seems likely to make the parasite more vulnerable to ecosystem perturbation and to restrict its range (L opez et al. 2015). There have been a number ...
متن کاملResearch highlights for issue 3
Whether evolution is predictable becomes a key question when deciding how to translate and apply evolutionary theory to solve real-world problems. Mutations arise by chance, and therefore, it seems fair to question if we can predict when, where, and how a population will respond to a given selection pressure. One of the many exciting results from Richard Lenski’s long-term experimental evolutio...

Research highlights for issue 6: the CRISPR/Cas revolution The evolution of host defenses against parasites and pathogens has resulted in a wide array of mechanisms conferring resistance and tolerance. Many of these adaptations have been co-opted for use in the treatment of disease, for example the use of live vaccines to prime the host immune system through the memory of B and T cells or the c...
متن کاملResearch highlights for issue 4: applied evolution in fisheries science
The pressure on both natural and managed fish stocks to keep pace with worldwide consumption presents a number of critical challenges, including the prevention of population collapse, management of disease, and understanding of the impact that fishing practices may have on life history traits. Addressing such challenges requires the integration of data from long term population monitoring, empi...
متن کاملResearch highlights for issue 7: the evolution of invasiveness
With continually increasing global connectivity and wholesale change of landscapes, the need to understand and control the spread of invasive species has never been greater. To do so requires insight into the factors that allow particular species to become invasive to begin with as well as into the evolutionary trajectory those invasive populations follow after establishment in new ranges. One ...
