Environments with a higher diversity of resources are usually assumed to support a higher diversity of species. Yet Miller & O'Dwyer find if organisms face limits on their ability to use different resources, this relationship can flip. Now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
Abstract For species that partition resources, the classic expectation is that increasing resource diversity allows for increased species diversity. On the other hand, for neutral species, such as tho...
This analysis by Engen & Sæther shows that Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection cannot be used to infer the rate of evolutionary responses to changes in the environment due to deterioration effects. Read now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
When a parasite infects a host, it can steer the host's traits for its own benefit. But what happens when there are two parasites? Does one parasite gain control, or does something new happen? New manuscript by Bolnick et al. now available ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
Abstract Indirect genetic effects (IGEs) exist when there is heritable variation in one organism’s ability to alter a second organism’s traits. For example, parasites have antigens that can induce a h...

Now ahead of print for Amarasekare's VP Symposium: "Pattern and Process in a Rapidly Changing World: Ideas and Approaches" by Priyanga Amarasekare www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
Abstract Science is as dynamic as the world around us. Our ideas continually change, as do the approaches we use to study science. Few things remain invariant in this changing landscape, but a fascina...
