Adaptation, migration or extirpation: climate change outcomes for tree populations

Sally N. Aitken, Sam Yeaman, Jason A. Holliday et al. · 25 Jan 2008

Species distribution models predict a wholesale redistribution of trees in the next century, yet migratory responses necessary to spatially track climates far exceed maximum post-glacial rates. The extent to which populations will adapt will depend upon phenotypic variation, strength of selection, fecundity, interspecific competition, and biotic interactions. Populations of temperate and boreal trees show moderate…

Climate change, adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity: the problem and the evidence

Juha Merilä, Andrew P. Hendry · 1 Jan 2014

Many studies have recorded phenotypic changes in natural populations and attributed them to climate change. However, controversy and uncertainty has arisen around three levels of inference in such studies. First, it has proven difficult to conclusively distinguish whether phenotypic changes are genetically based or the result of phenotypic plasticity. Second, whether or not the change…

Evolution and behavioural responses to human‐induced rapid environmental change

Andrew Sih, Maud C. O. Ferrari, David J. Harris · 17 Feb 2011

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its environment, the ability of organisms to behave appropriately under these new conditions is crucial for determining their immediate success or failure in these modified environments. While hundreds of species are…

Linkage disequilibrium estimates of contemporary <i>N</i><sub>e</sub> using highly variable genetic markers: a largely untapped resource for applied conservation and evolution

Robin S. Waples, Chi Do · 24 Nov 2009

Genetic methods are routinely used to estimate contemporary effective population size (N e) in natural populations, but the vast majority of applications have used only the temporal (two-sample) method. We use simulated data to evaluate how highly polymorphic molecular markers affect precision and bias in the single-sample method based on linkage disequilibrium (LD). Results of…

Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments: a genetic perspective

Andrew R. Weeks, Carla M. Sgrò, Andrew G. Young et al. · 18 Jun 2011

Translocations are being increasingly proposed as a way of conserving biodiversity, particularly in the management of threatened and keystone species, with the aims of maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function under the combined pressures of habitat fragmentation and climate change. Evolutionary genetic considerations should be an important part of translocation strategies, but there is often confusion…

Evolutionary Applications template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Evolutionary Applications format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Evolutionary Applications template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Evolutionary Applications use?
Evolutionary Applications uses Author–year (Chicago) 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, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Evolutionary Applications 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Evolutionary Applications?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Evolutionary Applications 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 Evolutionary Applications template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Evolutionary Applications format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Evolutionary Applications?
Evolutionary Applications is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Evolutionary Applications template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Evolutionary Applications PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Evolutionary Applications template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Evolutionary Applications template cost?
You can start writing in the Evolutionary Applications template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Evolutionary Applications PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
