This study shows that environmental and demographic variation additively reduce the repeatability of evolution in replicated experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans.

This study shows that whole genome duplication in Spirodela polyrhiza leads to highly repeatable and deterministic phenotypic outcomes, with ploidy explaining more phenotypic variation than genetic background.

The paper examines polyploid-diploid competition in Spirodela polyrhiza under stress and shows negative frequency-dependent growth fails to overcome competitive disadvantages.

This study models how polyploidy facilitates gene flow between diploid species by acting as a bridge, showing that increased recombination can enhance allele sorting and overcome species barriers.

The paper develops a mechanistic model to explore how metabolic efficiency influences polyploid invasion and coexistence with diploid ancestors in plants.

The paper shows that habitat choice enables ecological specialisation to persist despite dispersal, stabilizing metapopulation dynamics through individual-based modeling.
