Rapid evolution of weedy traits during sunflower de-domestication: the importance of hybridization and standing genetic variation
(bioRxiv, 2021-05)
Hybridization between crops and their wild relatives may promote the evolution of de-domesticated (feral) weeds. Wild sunflower is typically found in ruderal environments, but crop-wild hybridization may facilitate the ...
Re-establishment of latitudinal clines and local adaptation within the invaded area suggest rapid evolution of seed traits in Argentinean sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
(Springer, 2019-04-30)
Invasive plants represent a valuable model system for studying contemporary evolution and predicting evolutionary responses to global climate change. Rapid adaptation to climate during range expansion has been recently ...
Rapid evolution of latitudinal clines in growth and defence of an invasive weed
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-02)
Re-establishment of heritable latitudinal clines in growth-related traits has been recognised as evidence for adaptive evolution in invasive plants. However, less information is known about latitudinal clines in defence ...
Rapid evolution of a floral trait following acquisition of novel pollinators
(2021-04)
1. Changes in the pollinator assemblage visiting a plant can have consequences for reproductive success and floral evolution. We studied a recent plant trans-continental range expansion to test whether the acquisition of ...
On the nature of rapidly rotating single evolved stars

Cultural diversification promotes rapid phenotypic evolution in Xavánte Indians
(National Academy of Sciences, 2012-01-03)
Shifts in social structure and cultural practices can potentially promote unusual combinations of allele frequencies that drive the evolution of genetic and phenotypic novelties during human evolution. These cultural ...
