Slattery P, Dorey J, Matthews C, Holder J, Davies O, Stevens M, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2025 Mar; 15(3):e71073. PMID: 40034426
Species assemblages constrained by ecological and evolutionary processes (and the interactions between them) are vulnerable to changes in their environment. Network analyses do not explicitly build in phylogenetic histories when...

Hearn L, Stevens M, Schwarz M
Biol Lett . 2023 Mar; 19(3):20220528. PMID: 36855856
Split sex ratios provide broad insights into how reproductive strategies evolve, and historically have special relevance to the evolution of eusociality. Yet almost no attention has been directed to situations...

Davies O, Dorey J, Stevens M, Gardner M, Bradford T, Schwarz M
Curr Res Insect Sci . 2022 Aug; 2:100036. PMID: 36003268
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy is the occurrence of more than one type of mitochondrial DNA within a single individual. Although generally reported to occur in a small subset of individuals within a...

Hearn L, Davies O, Schwarz M
Proc Biol Sci . 2022 Jun; 289(1976):20220652. PMID: 35703047
To understand the earliest stages of social evolution, we need to identify species that are undergoing the initial steps into sociality. is the only unambiguously known social species in the...

Shokri Bousjein N, Tierney S, Gardner M, Schwarz M
Ecol Evol . 2022 Feb; 12(2):e8562. PMID: 35154650
Adaptive evolutionary theory argues that organisms with larger effective population size ( ) should have higher rates of adaptive evolution and therefore greater capacity to win evolutionary arm races. However,...

Dorey J, Groom S, Velasco-Castrillon A, Stevens M, Lee M, Schwarz M
Mol Ecol . 2021 Jun; 30(16):4005-4022. PMID: 34184342
There is substantial debate about the relative roles of climate change and human activities on biodiversity and species demographies over the Holocene. In some cases, these two factors can be...

Cronin A, Azuma N, Miyazaki S, Oguri E, Schwarz M, Ito F
J Evol Biol . 2021 Jan; 33(9):1192-1202. PMID: 33448532
The ability to express different phenotypes can help define species distributions by allowing access to, and exploitation of, new environments. Social insects employ two markedly different reproductive strategies with contrasting...

da Silva C, Beaman J, Dorey J, Barker S, Congedi N, Elmer M, et al.
J Exp Biol . 2020 Dec; 224(Pt 1). PMID: 33257439
Anthropogenic climate change and invasive species are two of the greatest threats to biodiversity, affecting the survival, fitness and distribution of many species around the globe. Invasive species are often...

Parslow B, Schwarz M, Stevens M
Genome . 2020 May; 64(3):253-264. PMID: 32413273
Gasteruptiidae Ashmead is an easily recognised family of wasps with ∼589 described species worldwide. Although well characterised by traditional taxonomy, multiple authors have commented on the extreme morphological uniformity of...

Dorey J, Groom S, Freedman E, Matthews C, Davies O, Deans E, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2020 Apr; 287(1925):20200045. PMID: 32290802
Island biogeography explores how biodiversity in island ecosystems arises and is maintained. The topographical complexity of islands can drive speciation by providing a diversity of niches that promote adaptive radiation...
