An evolutionary biologist who coauthored work on centromere-associated meiotic drive in monkeyflowers, comparing female transmission advantage with male fertility costs.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who tested the effects of relatedness and the scale of competition on cooperative siderophore production in bacteria.^[ref]

Evolutionary biologist who, with Peter R. Grant, studied Darwin's finches over decades. Repeated field measurements connected selection and hybridization with changing beak and body traits, revealing events that a short observation period could miss.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who coauthored an interpretation of genomic imprinting through conflict over growth regulation; the primary publication credits the author with these initials.^[ref]

Evolutionary biologist whose explanation of natural selection linked inherited genetic variation to differential reproduction.

An evolutionary biologist who investigated the genetic basis of stronger mate discrimination, testing speciation through reinforcement.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who developed a conflict-based interpretation of genomic imprinting, asking why maternally and paternally inherited variants can favour different growth outcomes.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who tested Müllerian mimicry in the field through butterfly release experiments with different local co-models and release densities.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist investigates inherited change and the historical relationships of organisms. Work can combine genetics, ecology, paleontology and experiments, connecting mechanisms such as natural selection and genetic drift to patterns of diversity.

A central task is separating competing causes: a shared allele might reflect common descent, gene flow or repeated mutation. Which comparison is informative depends on the biological question and the history being tested.

An evolutionary biologist who used molecular evidence to test chordate relationships, supporting tunicates as the closest living relatives of vertebrates.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who investigated microorganisms associated with chromosome destruction and reproductive isolation in insects.^[ref]

Evolutionary biologist who, with Martin Kreitman, compared synonymous and amino acid-changing differences within and between Drosophila species. Their 1991 analysis supplied a statistical test of neutral evolution: under the proposed neutral baseline, the two kinds of difference should occur in the same ratio within and between species.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who studied microbial contributions to cytoplasmic incompatibility, using reciprocal insect crosses and microbial manipulation.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who investigated genetic variation in Drosophila foraging, combining behavioural measurements, kinase activity and transgenic rescue; the source credits these initials.^[ref]

Evolutionary biologist studying sexual reproduction and host–parasite coevolution. Morran and collaborators experimentally tested whether an evolving parasite can favor reproduction involving two parents, connecting the maintenance of sexual reproduction with changing biological enemies.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who investigated centromere drive in monkeyflowers, testing how a transmission advantage can coexist with a fertility cost.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who investigated disease resistance in honeybee colonies bred for hygienic behaviour, combining brood assays with pathogen challenge.^[ref]

Evolutionary biologist who, with John H. McDonald, developed a comparison of within-species variation and between-species divergence to test neutral evolution. Their 1991 study compared synonymous and amino acid-changing differences at the alcohol-dehydrogenase locus in Drosophila, finding an excess of fixed amino acid changes consistent with natural selection.^[ref]

An evolutionary biologist who investigated geographic differences in mate discrimination in Drosophila, testing evidence for reinforcement.^[ref]

Evolutionary biologist whose marine research includes species delimitation and divergence of snapping shrimp lineages.
