Open AccessIndividual differences in dominance-related traits drive dispersal and settlement in hatchery-reared juvenile brown trout
Effective management of exploited populations is based on an understanding of population dynamics and evolutionary processes. In spatially structured populations, dispersal is a central process that ultimately...

Open AccessThe evolution of pueriparity maintains multiple paternity in a polymorphic viviparous salamander
The reduction in fecundity associated with the evolution of viviparity may have far-reaching implications for the ecology, demography, and evolution of populations. The evolution of a polygamous behaviour (e.g...

Open AccessNiche models at inter- and intraspecific levels reveal hierarchical niche differentiation in midwife toads
Variation and population structure play key roles in the speciation process, but adaptive intraspecific genetic variation is commonly ignored when forecasting species niches. Amphibians serve as excellent mode...

Open AccessA rapid rate of sex-chromosome turnover and non-random transitions in true frogs
The canonical model of sex-chromosome evolution predicts that, as recombination is suppressed along sex chromosomes, gametologs will progressively differentiate, eventually becoming heteromorphic. However, the...
