Multimodel inference in ecology and evolution: challenges and solutions

Catherine E. Grueber, Shinichi Nakagawa, Rebecca Laws et al. · 27 Jan 2011

Information theoretic approaches and model averaging are increasing in popularity, but this approach can be difficult to apply to the realistic, complex models that typify many ecological and evolutionary analyses. This is especially true for those researchers without a formal background in information theory. Here, we highlight a number of practical obstacles to model averaging…

Hybridization and speciation

Richard J. Abbott, Dirk C. Albach, Stephen W. Ansell et al. · 17 Jan 2013

Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow and recombination. It may accelerate speciation via adaptive introgression or cause near-instantaneous speciation by allopolyploidization. It may have multiple effects at different stages and in different spatial contexts within a single speciation event. We…

Social semantics: altruism, cooperation, mutualism, strong reciprocity and group selection

Stuart A. West, Ashleigh S. Griffin, Andy Gardner · 16 Oct 2006

From an evolutionary perspective, social behaviours are those which have fitness consequences for both the individual that performs the behaviour, and another individual. Over the last 43 years, a huge theoretical and empirical literature has developed on this topic. However, progress is often hindered by poor communication between scientists, with different people using the same…

The genic view of the process of speciation

Chung‐I Wu · 1 Nov 2001

Abstract The unit of adaptation is usually thought to be a gene or set of interacting genes, rather than the whole genome, and this may be true of species differentiation. Defining species on the basis of reproductive isolation (RI), on the other hand, is a concept best applied to the entire genome. The biological species…

Comparison of genetic differentiation at marker loci and quantitative traits

Juha Merilä, Peter Crnokrak · 1 Nov 2001

Abstract The comparison of the degree of differentiation in neutral marker loci and genes coding quantitative traits with standardized and equivalent measures of genetic differentiation (FST and QST, respectively) can provide insights into two important but seldom explored questions in evolutionary genetics: (i) what is the relative importance of random genetic drift and directional natural…

Journal of Evolutionary Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Evolutionary Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Evolutionary Biology use?
Journal of Evolutionary Biology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Evolutionary Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Journal of Evolutionary Biology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Evolutionary Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Evolutionary Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Evolutionary Biology?
Journal of Evolutionary Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Journal of Evolutionary Biology template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Evolutionary Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Evolutionary Biology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Evolutionary Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Evolutionary Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
