Other papers featured papers include:

a meta-analysis of publications on allopatric versus sympatric speciation
an evaluation of patterns of adaptation to climatic variation focused on phenotypic plasticity in response to global climate change
a look at the genetic controls of plant stress responses from an evolutionary viewpoint
new perspectives on the evolution of life histories
an evolutionary analysis of the causes and consequences of persistent human diseases
