The geography and ecology of plant speciation: range overlap and niche divergence in sister species by Anacker, Brian L., Strauss, Sharon Y.

“…A goal of evolutionary biology is to understand the roles of geography and ecology in speciation. The recent shared ancestry of sister species can leave a…”

More closely related species are more ecologically similar in an experimental test by Burns, Jean H., Strauss, Sharon Y., Schmitt, Johanna

“…The relationship between phylogenetic distance and ecological similarity is key to understanding mechanisms of community assembly, a central goal of ecology…”

Ecological and evolutionary responses in complex communities: implications for invasions and eco‐evolutionary feedbacks by Strauss, Sharon Y.

“…It is easier to predict the ecological and evolutionary outcomes of interactions in less diverse communities. As species are added to communities, their direct…”

Reproductive isolation and the maintenance of species boundaries in two serpentine endemic Jewelflowers by Christie, Kyle, Strauss, Sharon Y.

“…Speciation occurs when reproductive barriers substantially reduce gene flow between lineages. Understanding how specific barriers contribute to reproductive…”

Mutualist‐mediated effects on species' range limits across large geographic scales by Afkhami, Michelle E, McIntyre, Patrick J, Strauss, Sharon Y, Putten, Wim

“…Understanding the processes determining species range limits is central to predicting species distributions under climate change. Projected future ranges are…”

When rarity has costs: coexistence under positive frequency-dependence and environmental stochasticity by Schreiber, Sebastian J., Yamamichi, Masato, Strauss, Sharon Y.

“…Stable coexistence relies on negative frequency-dependence, in which rarer species invading a patch benefit from a lack of conspecific competition experienced…”

Frequency-dependent fitness and reproductive dynamics contribute to habitat segregation in sympatric jewelflowers by Christie, Kyle, Strauss, Sharon Y

“…Coexistence results from a complex suite of past and contemporary processes including biogeographic history, adaptation, ecological interactions and…”

Generalists are more specialized in low-resource habitats, increasing stability of ecological network structure by Robinson, Moria L., Strauss, Sharon Y.

“…Linking mechanistic processes to the stability of ecological networks is a key frontier in ecology. In trophic networks, “modules”—groups of species that…”

Mutual Feedbacks Maintain Both Genetic and Species Diversity in a Plant Community by Lankau, Richard A, Strauss, Sharon Y

“…The forces that maintain genetic diversity among individuals and diversity among species are usually studied separately. Nevertheless, diversity at one of…”

Gene flow increases fitness at the warm edge of a species' range by Sexton, Jason P, Strauss, Sharon Y, Rice, Kevin J

“…According to theory, gene flow to marginal populations may stall or aid adaptation at range limits by swamping peripheral populations with maladaptive gene…”

Two centuries of monarch butterfly collections reveal contrasting effects of range expansion and migration loss on wing traits by Freedman, Micah G., Dingle, Hugh, Strauss, Sharon Y., Ramírez, Santiago R.

“…Migratory animals exhibit traits that allow them to exploit seasonally variable habitats. In environments where migration is no longer beneficial, such as…”

Evolutionary origins for ecological patterns in space by Urban, Mark C., Strauss, Sharon Y., Pelletier, Fanie, Palkovacs, Eric P., Leibold, Mathew A., Hendry, Andrew P., De Meester, Luc, Carlson, Stephanie M., L. Angert, Amy, T. Giery, Sean

“…Historically, many biologists assumed that evolution and ecology acted independently because evolution occurred over distances too great to influence most…”

Predator selection on phenotypic variability of cryptic and aposematic moths by Nokelainen, Ossi, Silvasti, Sanni A., Strauss, Sharon Y., Wahlberg, Niklas, Mappes, Johanna

“…Natural selection generally favours phenotypic variability in camouflaged organisms, whereas aposematic organisms are expected to evolve a more uniform warning…”
