Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “There is accumulating empirical evidence that evolution can proceed fast (Gingerich 2009, Reznick & Ghalambor 2001) and, more importantly, that the selective process of evolution can significantly affect population dynamics (Hanski & Saccheri 2006, Pelletier et al. 2007; see also reviews by Kokko &…”
Unexpected genetic structure of mussel populations in South Africa: indigenous Perna perna and invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis (2007, background): “Invasions frequently constitute rapid evolutionary events (Reznick & Ghalambor 2001), resulting in populations that are genetically dynamic over both space and time.”
Bridging the gap between the genotype and the phenotype: linking genetic variation, selection and adaptation in fishes (2008, background): “Evolutionary responses in life-history traits to environmental change are likely for many organisms (reviewed by Hendry and Kinnison 1999; Reznick and Ghalambor 2001).”
Eco-evolutionary conservation biology: contemporary evolution and the dynamics of persistence (2007, background): “Reviews of the published literature show that introductions and invasions account for an especially large proportion of documented cases of contemporary evolution (Kinnison & Hendry 2001; Reznick & Ghalambor 2001; Lambrinos 2004).”
Conceptual issues in local adaptation (2004, background): “Similarly, one can measure an ecological distance between habitats along an environmental axis defined by quantitative environmental parameters (e.g. Rice & Mack 1991; Lively & Jokela 1996).”
Evolution in a Community Context: Trait Responses to Multiple Species Interactions* (2018, background): “This is especially true of short-lived species with short generation times but can also apply to longer-lived species that experience strong selection pressure (Reznick and Ghalambor 2001; Visser 2008; Lavergne et al. 2010; Moran and Alexander 2014; Colautti and Lau 2015).”
Adaptive versus non‐adaptive phenotypic plasticity and the potential for contemporary adaptation in new environments (2007, background): “Empirical studies of adaptive evolution reveal that adaptations to new environments rarely involve single traits, but rather suites of traits that respond to diverse selection pressures (Reznick & Ghalambor 2001).”
Hematological differences between stingrays at tourist and non-visited sites suggest physiological costs of wildlife tourism. (2009, background): “To fully determine the impacts of tourism, it is imperative to quantify the organism’s ability to persist in face of novel selection processes in altered environments (Reznick and Ghalambor, 2001; Stockwell et al., 2003).”
HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “There is clear evidence from a range of taxa that introduced populations often quickly adapt to local conditions (Reznick and Ghalambor 2001, Grosholz 2002, Lee 2002).”
NO EVIDENCE FOR TRADE‐OFFS: CENTAUREA PLANTS FROM AMERICA ARE BETTER COMPETITORS AND DEFENDERS (2008, background): “All differences in traits between North American and European Centaurea populations occurred under iden- tical conditions in greenhouses, so phenotypic plasticity can be ruled out as a cause (Reznick and Ghalambor 2001).”
Plant invasions: merging the concepts of species invasiveness and community invasibility (2006, background): “Much research in the past decade has explored the relative importance of plasticity versus rapid evolution across a wide range of systems and many taxa (Reznick and Ghalambor, 2001; Bossdorf et al., 2005).”
Stickleback research: the now and the next (2013, background): “…were historically assumed to be very slow, whereas recent studies have revealed substantial adaptive evolution on time scales of only years to decades – so-called ‘contemporary’ or ‘rapid’ evolution (for reviews, see Hendry and Kinnison, 1999; Reznick and Ghalambor, 2001; Hendry et al., 2008).”
Jack of all trades, master of some? On the role of phenotypic plasticity in plant invasions. (2006, background): “Adaptive evolutionary change can be very rapid, and this might be particularly important in biological invasions, which often involve drastic changes in selection regimes (Brown & Marshall 1981; Thompson 1998; Mooney & Cleland 2001; Reznick & Ghalambor 2001; Sakai et al. 2001; Lee 2002).”
Spatial and temporal scales of adaptive divergence in marine fishes and the implications for conservation (2006, background): “Numerous traits display contemporary evolution including those involving physiology, morphology, life history, phenology and behaviour (Reznick & Ghalambor, 2001).”
Promising the future? Global change projections of species distributions (2007, background): “Although rapid evolutionary change has been documented (Endler, 1986; Thompson, 1998), there are only few known case studies where species evolved in response to new physical conditions ( Reznick & Ghalambor, 2001 ).”
