One subset of this research field includes studies on local adaptation. This approach is useful for studying whether or not adaptive spatial variation takes place in a metapopulation context. There is growing body of research studying local adaptations of populations, and much of this has used a formal test for assessing the existence of local adaptation. According to Kawecki and Ebert (2004), the “Local vs. foreign” criterion is fulfilled if the local population has higher fitness than other populations in its own locality and “Home vs. away” is fulfilled if a population has higher fitness in the sympatric than allopatric environment. Interestingly, interpretation of results not fulfilling these criteria has received scant attention even though the question of how to measure local adaptation is vital for the study field. At present, there is an extensive volume of published results showing other kinds of patterns than those proposed by the “Local vs . foreign” or “Home vs . away” criteria. Here, we highlight one of these alternative patterns that we believe may have an adaptive background and may show local adaptation not recognized by the above-mentioned criteria.","PeriodicalId":42755,"journal":{"name":"Ideas in Ecology and Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2013-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70234161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unusually for aposematic mimetic organisms, the three species show extensive colour pattern polymorphism. Within the same geographic zone, the three species show female-biased sex ratios as a consequence of infection by maternally-inherited, male-killing bacteria. The co-occurrence of biased sex ratios and aposematic polymorphism within these three sympatric, mimetic butterfly species has led to the speculation that invasion by the male-killing bacteria and the subsequent female-biased sex ratios are the underlying reason for the maintenance of colour polymorphism in these species, following its establishment by periods of allopatry and monomorphism and hybridisation. In this paper, we present a novel hypothesis that describes a mechanism by which such causal link might have taken place; in our view, positive frequency-dependent selection favouring the most common colour form in the species is disrupted as a consequence of the recurrent extinction-recolonization cycles undergone at the level of the species populations following the spread of the male-killer. Likewise, extinctions and recolonizations taking place in the other mimics randomly change the direction of selection on each species, potentially leading to multiple selective pressures favouring different colour patterns in the mimicry complex. Thus, selection for monomorphism within each species as well as between the mimetic species will be continuously randomized by the enhanced metapopulation dynamics and the state of polymorphism will be maintained consequently.","PeriodicalId":42755,"journal":{"name":"Ideas in Ecology and Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70234452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The more intense interactions in the tropics are thought to have selected for higher levels of defenses against herbivores. These ideas are fundamental to our understanding of global patterns in diversity, and for our understanding of plant-animal interactions. However, recent analyses have tended not to support the traditional hypothesis of higher herbivory and defenses at lower latitudes. Despite mounting empirical evidence, many ecologists have been slow to re-assess their beliefs. I show clear evidence for citation bias, with papers that support the traditional idea being cited over six times as often as papers that show higher herbivory at higher latitudes and over four times as often as papers showing higher defense at higher latitudes. I also highlight examples where interpretations that are counter to the available empirical evidence have been published in high profile journals. I suggest that providing rigorous empirical tests for ideas that have become widely established without appropriate testing should be a priority for ecologists. We need to make sure the objectivity of peer-reviewed science stands out from the mass of unchecked opinion available on the web.","PeriodicalId":42755,"journal":{"name":"Ideas in Ecology and Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2013-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4033/IEE.2013.6.1.C","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70233773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
