Rates of hybridization are predicted to increase due climate change and human activity that cause redistribution species bring previously isolated populations into contact. At the same time leads rapid changes in environment, requiring adapt rapidly order survive. A few empirical cases suggest can facilitate adaptation despite its potential for incompatibilities deleterious fitness consequences. Here we use simulations Fisher's Geometric model evaluate conditions frame via both diploids...
Abstract Open science skills are increasingly important for a career in ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) as efforts to make data analyses publicly available continue become more commonplace. While learning core concepts EEB, students also expected gain conducting open prepare future careers. Core like programming, sharing, practices that promote reproducibility can be taught undergraduate alongside EEB. Yet, these not always programs, major challenge developing EEB simultaneously is...
Genetic divergence among allopatric populations builds reproductive isolation over time. This process is accelerated when face a changing environment that allows large-effect mutational differences to accumulate, but abrupt change also places at risk of extinction. Here we use simulations Fisher's geometric model with explicit population dynamics explore the genetic changes occur in environmental changes. Because evolutionary rescue leads fixation mutations whose phenotypic effects are...
Abstract Genetic divergence among allopatric populations builds reproductive isolation over time and is thought to be the major mechanism underlying formation of new species. This process accelerated when face a changing environment, but abrupt change also places at risk extinction. Here we use simulations Fisher’s geometric model with explicit population dynamics explore genetic changes that occur in extreme environmental which must adapt or go extinct. We show evolutionary rescue leads...
Open science skills are increasingly important for a career in ecology and evolution as efforts to make data analyses publicly available transparent continue become more commonplace. However, open not typically taught biology undergraduate programs. In learning core concepts evolutionary (EEB), students must also gain or they will miss out on opportunities prepare future careers. Core skills, like programming practices that promote reproducibility sharing, can be alongside EEB. Yet, major...
