Journal Article
Fisher, A. M., Knell, R. J., Price, T. A., & Bonsall, M. B. (2024). Sex ratio distorting microbes exacerbate arthropod extinction risk in variable environments. Ecology and Evolution, 14(4), Article e11216. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.11216

Maternally-inherited sex ratio distorting microbes (SRDMs) are common among arthropod species. Typically, these microbes cause female-biased sex ratios in host broods, either by; killing male offspring, feminising male offspring, or inducing partheno...

Alternative reproductive tactics and evolutionary rescue (2024)
Journal Article
Knell, R. J., & Parrett, J. M. (in press). Alternative reproductive tactics and evolutionary rescue. Evolution Letters, Article qrae010. https://doi.org/10.1093/evlett/qrae010

Almost all life on earth is facing environmental change, and understanding how populations will respond to these changes is of urgent importance. One factor that is known to affect the speed by which a population can evolve when faced with changes in... Read More about Alternative reproductive tactics and evolutionary rescue.
