It's about time: the temporal dynamics of phenotypic selection in the wildAdam M Siepielski
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
Ecol Lett 12:1261-76. 2009....
Conflicting selection from an antagonist and a mutualist enhances phenotypic variation in a plantAdam M Siepielski
Department of Zoology and Physiology, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071, USA
Evolution 64:1120-8. 2010..These results indicate that conflicting selection stemming from spatial variation in community diversity can enhance phenotypic variation in ecologically important traits...
Seed predation and selection exerted by a seed predator influence subalpine tree densitiesAdam M Siepielski
Department of Zoology and Physiology, Department 3166, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071, USA
Ecology 89:2960-6. 2008..In sum, pine squirrels apparently depress limber and whitebark pine stand densities, with the potential for ecosystem impacts because these pines are foundation species within Western subalpine ecosystems...
A seed predator drives the evolution of a seed dispersal mutualismAdam M Siepielski
Department of Zoology and Physiology, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82071, USA
Proc Biol Sci 275:1917-25. 2008..Given that adaptive evolution in response to antagonists frequently impedes one kind of mutualistic interaction, the evolution of alternative mutualistic interactions may be a common by-product...
Differences in the temporal dynamics of phenotypic selection among fitness components in the wildAdam M Siepielski
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
Proc Biol Sci 278:1572-80. 2011....
Extreme environmental variation sharpens selection that drives the evolution of a mutualismAdam M Siepielski
Department of Zoology and Physiology, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82071, USA
Proc Biol Sci 274:1799-805. 2007..Infrequent events can thus be essential to both adaptive evolution and the evolutionary dynamics of species interactions...
Signature of ecological partitioning in the maintenance of damselfly diversityAdam M Siepielski
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
J Anim Ecol 80:1163-73. 2011..Our results also suggest that a food web model coupling keystone predation and apparent competition is likely necessary to explain the ecological dynamics of persistence among these genera...
The local introduction of strongly interacting species and the loss of geographic variation in species and species interactionsCraig W Benkman
Department of Zoology and Physiology, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82071, USA
Mol Ecol 17:395-404. 2008..Such introductions have eliminated incipient species of crossbills (Loxia spp.) co-evolving in arms races with conifers and will likely have considerable impacts on community structure and ecosystem processes...
On the evidence for species coexistence: a critique of the coexistence programAdam M Siepielski
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
Ecology 91:3153-64. 2010..These tests are central to developing a more robust understanding of the relative contributions of both deterministic and stochastic processes structuring biological communities...
Experimental evidence for neutral community dynamics governing an insect assemblageAdam M Siepielski
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
Ecology 91:847-57. 2010..Combined with a simple theoretical model we present, these results taken together show how both neutral and niche dynamics can jointly structure communities...
Cone and seed trait variation in whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis; Pinaceae) and the potential for phenotypic selectionRoberto Garcia
Department of Zoology and Physiology, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071 USA
Am J Bot 96:1050-4. 2009..In contrast, the few traits where variation within trees equaled or exceeded that among trees underwent weak if any phenotypic selection...
Interactions among moths, crossbills, squirrels, and lodgepole pine in a geographic selection mosaicAdam M Siepielski
Department of Biology, MSC 3AF, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003-8001, USA
Evolution Int J Org Evolution 58:95-101. 2004..These results demonstrate the importance of considering the evolutionary consequences of community context in locally evolved (coevolved) traits and interactions...
Reciprocal selection causes a coevolutionary arms race between crossbills and lodgepole pineCraig W Benkman
Department of Biology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico, 88003, USA
Am Nat 162:182-94. 2003..These results show that crossbills and lodgepole pine exhibit reciprocal adaptations in response to reciprocal selection, and they provide insight into the traits mediating and responding to selection in a coevolutionary arms race...
