In a metapopulation context, however, types that utilize the same resource but are distributed along a competition-colonization trade-off can coexist. Prior work used a generic trade-off between within-deme competitive ability and between-deme dispersal ability. We show that sporulation in yeasts and other microbes can create a natural trade-off such that strains that initiate sporulation at higher rates suffer in terms of within-deme competition but benefit in terms of between deme dispersal. Using chemostat dynamics within patches, we first show that the rate of sporulation determines the colonization ability of the strain, with colonization ability increasing with sporulation rate up to a point. Metapopulation stability of a single strain exists in a defined range of sporulation rates. We pairwise invasability plots to show that coexistence of strains with different sporulation rates generally occurs, but that the set of sporulation rates that can potentially coexist is smaller than the set that allows for stable metapopulations. We also show how a continuous set of strains can coexist and verify our conclusions with numerical calculations and stochastic simulations. Stable variation in sporulation rates is expected under a wide range of ecological conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":12082,"journal":{"name":"Evolution","volume":" ","pages":"249-260"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142686582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast to previous studies based solely on divergence time, we find strong evidence to reject the hypothesis that all Galapagos giant tortoises belong to a single species. Instead, a conservative interpretation of model-based and divergence-based results indicates that these taxa form a species complex consisting of a minimum of 9 species, with most analyses supporting 13 species. There is mixed support for the species status of taxa living on the same island, with some methods suggesting multiple populations of a single species per island.

To study how flightlessness affects feathers, we measured 11 feather metrics across the plumage of 30 flightless taxa and their phylogenetically closest volant taxa, with broader sampling of primaries across all orders of crown birds. Our sample includes 27 independent flight losses, representing nearly half of extant flightless species. Feather asymmetry measured by barb angle differences between trailing and leading vanes decreases in flightless lineages, most prominently in flight feathers and weakest in contour feathers. Greatest changes in feather anatomy occur in older flightless lineages (penguins, ratites). Comparative methods show some microscopic feather traits are not dramatically modified after flightlessness compared to body mass increase and relative wing and tail fan reduction, but changes toward greater symmetry are stronger. Relaxing selection for flight does not rapidly modify feather flight adaptations, apart from asymmetry. Feathers of recently flightless lineages resemble their volant relatives. Developmental constraints and relaxed selection for novel feather morphologies may explain some observed changes. Macroscopic changes to flight apparati (skeletomusculature, airfoil size) are more evident in recently flightless taxa and could more reliably detect flightlessness in fossils, with increased feather symmetry as a potential microscopic signal.

We explore this dynamic in the evolution of fin shapes in 106 species from 38 families of coral reef fishes, a polyphyletic assemblage that shows exceptional diversity in locomotor function. Despite expectations of a strong match between form and function, we find subtantial fin shape disparity across species that share a swimming mode.

The weak integration among fins in the ancestral locomotor condition provides a primary axis of diversification while allowing for off-axis diversification via independent trait responses to selection.

Among land plants, reproductive specialization shows a trend toward increasing complexity without reversion, raising questions about evolutionary steps and the irreversibility of reproductive complexity. Ferns exhibit varied reproductive strategies; some are dimorphic (producing separate leaves for photosynthesis and reproduction), while others are monomorphic (where one leaf is used for both photosynthesis and spore dispersal). This diversity provides an opportunity to examine the applicability of Dollo's Law in the evolution of reproductive leaf specialization. We analyzed 118 species in Blechnaceae and Onocleaceae, applying quantitative morphometrics and phylogenetic comparative methods to test the pillars of a modernized interpretation of Dollo's Law. The evolution of dimorphism in Blechnaceae is neither stepwise nor irreversible, with direct transitions from monomorphism to dimorphism, including several reversions. In contrast, Onocleaceae exhibits an irreversibility to monomorphism only upon further specialization of fertile leaves for humidity-driven spore dispersal; this suggests that additional specialization, not dimorphism alone, may facilitate irreversibility. These results provide insight into the canalization of fertile-sterile leaf dimorphism in seed plants, where the addition of traits like heterospory and integuments lead to further specialization and potential irreversibility. These findings suggest that as new specialized traits evolve alongside preexisting ones, reversion may become increasingly unlikely.</p>","PeriodicalId":12082,"journal":{"name":"Evolution","volume":" ","pages":"164-175"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142564173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a long-term 11-generation dataset, we examined how fine-scale spatial and temporal variation in ecological and demographic conditions modify costly traits, specifically positive allometry in morphological traits under different selection pressures, in Psammophilus dorsalis, a short-lived socially polygynous lizard. We comprehensively measured males and females across non-overlapping generations and space and quantified fine-scale variation in key ecological and demographic parameters. Positive allometry in male head width (under sexual selection) varied dramatically over generations and space. Limited rainfall, harsh temperatures, and greater competition promoted positive allometry in male head width. In stark contrast, positive allometry in female interlimb length (under fecundity selection) only weakly correlated with environmental conditions.

One theoretical model based on the mating systems of hermaphroditic parasites assumes a life cycle with fewer hosts will result in more inbreeding, and predicts a truncated life cycle most likely evolves in the absence of inbreeding depression. Many populations of the hermaphroditic trematode Alloglossidium progeneticum maintain an ancestral obligate 3-host life cycle where obligate sexual reproduction occurs among adults in catfish third hosts. However, some populations have evolved a facultative precocious life cycle, where sexual development can occur while encysted within crayfish second hosts, likely leading to high inbreeding as individuals are forced to self-mate while encysted. Whether selfing represents a derived state remains untested. We compared selfing rates of 5 precocious populations to that of 4 populations with an ancestral obligate 3-host life cycle. We also compared demographic estimates to genetic estimates of selfing to test the prediction of no inbreeding depression in precocious populations.
