Evolution of movement rate increases the effectiveness of marine reserves for the conservation of pelagic fishes.

Evolutionary applications

Mee JA, Otto SP, Pauly D.
PMID: 28515778
Evol Appl. 2017 Mar 15;10(5):444-461. doi: 10.1111/eva.12460. eCollection 2017 Jun.

Current debates about the efficacy of no-take marine reserves (MR) in protecting large pelagic fish such as tuna and sharks have usually not considered the evolutionary dimension of this issue, which emerges because the propensity to swim away from...

Higher resource level promotes virulence in an environmentally transmitted bacterial fish pathogen.

Evol Appl. 2017 Mar 30;10(5):462-470. doi: 10.1111/eva.12466. eCollection 2017 Jun.

Diseases have become a primary constraint to sustainable aquaculture, but remarkably little attention has been paid to a broad class of pathogens: the opportunists. Opportunists often persist in the environment outside the host, and their pathogenic features are influenced...

Evolution and the duration of a doomed population.

Evolutionary applications

Gomulkiewicz R, Krone SM, Remien CH.
PMID: 28515780
Evol Appl. 2017 Mar 17;10(5):471-484. doi: 10.1111/eva.12467. eCollection 2017 Jun.

Many populations are doomed to extinction, but little is known about how evolution contributes to their longevity. We address this by modeling an asexual population consisting of genotypes whose abundances change independently according to a system of continuous branching...

The evolutionary legacy of size-selective harvesting extends from genes to populations.

Evolutionary applications

Uusi-Heikkilä S, Whiteley AR, Kuparinen A, Matsumura S, Venturelli PA, Wolter C, Slate J, Primmer CR, Meinelt T, Killen SS, Bierbach D, Polverino G, Ludwig A, Arlinghaus R.
PMID: 26136825
Evol Appl. 2015 Jul;8(6):597-620. doi: 10.1111/eva.12268. Epub 2015 May 27.

Size-selective harvesting is assumed to alter life histories of exploited fish populations, thereby negatively affecting population productivity, recovery, and yield. However, demonstrating that fisheries-induced phenotypic changes in the wild are at least partly genetically determined has proved notoriously difficult....

The effects of spatial structure, frequency dependence and resistance evolution on the dynamics of toxin-mediated microbial invasions.

Evolutionary applications

Libberton B, Horsburgh MJ, Brockhurst MA.
PMID: 26240609
Evol Appl. 2015 Aug;8(7):738-50. doi: 10.1111/eva.12284. Epub 2015 Jul 16.

Recent evidence suggests that interference competition between bacteria shapes the distribution of the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus in the lower nasal airway of humans, either by preventing colonization or by driving displacement. This competition within the nasal microbial community...

Using fine-scale spatial genetics of Norway rats to improve control efforts and reduce leptospirosis risk in urban slum environments.

For organisms with overlapping generations that occur in metapopulations, uncertainty remains regarding the spatiotemporal scale of inference of estimates of the effective number of breeders (N^b) and whether these estimates can be used to predict generational

Evaluating the genetic and demographic independence of populations of threatened species is important for determining appropriate conservation measures, but different technologies can yield different conclusions. Despite multiple studies, the taxonomic status and extent of gene flow between the main...

A critical assessment of estimating census population size from genetic population size (or vice versa) in three fishes.

The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique, genetic elimination methods such as the...
