Research highlights for issue 6: the applicability of model system research

Our ability to apply evolutionary theory is necessarily limited by our understanding of natural systems. Unfortunately, given the finite amount of researcher time and funding, we are faced with a trade-off between studying many systems shallowly and studying fewer systems in more depth. The handful of ‘model systems’ that have emerged thus far act as workhorses across disciplines, allowing for ...

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...

Research 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 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 ...
