The concepts of "domestication" and "artificial selection" and their significance in the work of Charles Darwin
Published: August 19, 2026 10:00
This analysis examines the terms "domestication" and "selection" presented in Darwin's The variation of animals and plants under domestication, and the significance he gave to these concepts. This approach focuses on how Darwin drew upon knowledge…
Climate reframes Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum
Published: August 11, 2026 10:00
Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum asks whether invaders succeed by resembling or differing from native species. Ramirez-Parada et al. demonstrate that climate plays a crucial role in determining both outcomes: invaders resemble natives in cold or dry…
Darwin's solution: Honeybees survive mite vectors and viruses through natural selection
Published: June 14, 2026 10:00
Complex host-vector-virus interfaces can impose serious health challenges. Western honeybees have experienced high colony losses globally, mainly driven by the host-shifted, virus-vectoring ectoparasitic mites Varroa destructor and Tropilaelaps mercedesae.…
Dark diversity framework reconciles Darwin's naturalization conundrum for freshwater fish invasions
Published: June 10, 2026 10:00
The spread of invasive species poses a major threat to global biodiversity, yet predicting successful establishment of exotic species in novel environments remains challenging. Darwin's naturalization conundrum is a longstanding debate over whether exotic…
Cultural and morphological divergence of Darwin's cactus finches (Geospiza scandens) across Galapagos Islands
Published: May 21, 2026 10:00
Understanding the divergence of cultural traits, such as bird song, provides crucial insights into evolutionary processes. In geographically isolated populations, the divergence of traits associated with mate choice can lead to further genetic separation.…

Reproduction and Sex in the Androdioecious Barnacle Scalpellum scalpellum: Darwin's Model for Studying Reproductive System Evolution
Published: May 8, 2026 10:00
Based on recent studies using both field surveys and laboratory experiments, we review a number of central reproductive traits of the androdioecious barnacle Scalpellum scalpellum. For the first time in any scalpellid species, development has been followed…
Kinship Analysis Confirms Tolerant Galapagos Mockingbirds Are a Source of Nest Flies That Threaten Darwin's Finches
Published: April 2, 2026 10:00
Host species have evolved different strategies for dealing with parasites. 'Vulnerable' hosts, which suffer reduced fitness from parasites, are under selection to evolve defences. 'Tolerant' hosts, by contrast, avoid reductions in fitness by mitigating…
