Special Issues and Sections
Special Issues and Sections in Journal of Evolutionary Biology are collated on a common theme in an important area of Evolutionary Biology which seeks to advance new concepts and highlight important avenues topics future research.
Inferring macroevolutionary patterns and processes from microevolutionary mechanisms
Volume 37, Issue 12
First published: December 2024
Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in Changing Environments
Volume 37, Issue 6
First published: June 2024
The Evolutionary Significance of Animal Microbiomes
Volume 36, Issue 12
First published: December 2023
Evolution of multiple prey defences: From predator cognition to community ecology
Volume 36, Issue 7
First published: July 2023
Sex chromosome evolution: The remarkable diversity in the evolutionary rates and mechanisms
Volume 35, Issue 12
First published: December 2022
Assortative mating for quantitative traits: mechanisms, estimation, and evolutionary consequences
First published: 10 April 2022
Assortative mating occurs when paired individuals are more similar than expected by chance and is widespread in nature. This issue calls for bettering our understanding of evolutionary causes and consequences of the mechanisms shaping assortative mating in nature.
Virus evolution on the mutualist-parasite continuum
Volume 34, Issue 12
First published: December 2021
The past two years have put viruses in the spotlight, reminding us that they are present everywhere in diverse populations. History (and this special issue) remind us not to underestimate the potency of virus evolution, especially when designing public health interventions.
Genetics and genomics of adaptation: Capturing the rapidly evolving study of adaptation
Volume 34, Issue 6
First published: June 2021
Speciation in marine environments
Volume 34, Issue 1
First published: January 2021
Sex uncovered: the evolutionary biology of reproductive systems
Volume 27, Issue 7
First published: July 2014
Reproduction is one of the most fundamental characteristics defining living organisms, yet it occurs via a tremendous diversity of mechanisms that differ in their potential for genetic mixing and evolutionary novelty.
