M Olive, F Moerman, X Fernandez-Cassi… - Environmental …, 2022 - ACS Publications
Biological treatment of waterborne viruses, specifically grazing of viruses by protists, can
enhance microbial water quality while avoiding the production of toxic byproducts and high …

Experimental evolution of dispersal: Unifying theory, experiments and natural systems

N Lustenhouwer, F Moerman, F Altermatt… - Journal of Animal …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library

Lustenhouwer and Felix Moerman wrote the manuscript, with input from all co-authors. All authors …

Kin competition accelerates experimental range expansion in an arthropod herbivore

K Van Petegem, F Moerman, M Dahirel… - Ecology …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
With ongoing global change, life is continuously forced to move to novel areas, which leads
to dynamically changing species ranges. As dispersal is central to range dynamics, factors …

Evolution in interacting species alters predator life-history traits, behaviour and morphology in experimental microbial communities

J Cairns, F Moerman, EA Fronhofer… - … of the Royal …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Predator–prey interactions heavily influence the dynamics of many ecosystems. An
increasing body of evidence suggests that rapid evolution and coevolution can alter these …

Gene swamping alters evolution during range expansions in the protist Tetrahymena thermophila

F Moerman, EA Fronhofer, A Wagner… - Biology …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
At species’ range edges, individuals often face novel environmental conditions that may
limit range expansion until populations adapt. The potential to adapt depends on genetic …

Evolution under pH stress and high population densities leads to increased density-dependent fitness in the protist Tetrahymena thermophila

F Moerman, A Arquint, S Merkli, A Wagner… - …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Abiotic stress is a major force of selection that organisms are constantly facing. While the
evolutionary effects of various stressors have been broadly studied, it is only more recently that …

Selection on growth rate and local adaptation drive genomic adaptation during experimental range expansions in the protist Tetrahymena thermophila

F Moerman, EA Fronhofer, F Altermatt… - Journal of Animal …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Populations that expand their range can undergo rapid evolutionary adaptation of life‐history
traits, dispersal behaviour and adaptation to the local environment. Such adaptation may …

Frequent sexual reproduction limits adaptation in outcrossed populations of the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

F Moerman, N Colegrave - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Sexual reproduction can facilitate adaptation by reshuffling genetic variation. However,
sexual reproduction can also bear costs. Such costs come in two forms: direct costs and …

[PDF][PDF] Coevolution alters predator life history traits, behavior and morphology in experimental microbial communities

J Cairns, F Moerman, EA Fronhofer, F Altermatt… - bioRxiv, 2019 - scholar.archive.org
Predator-prey interactions are key for the dynamics of many ecosystems. An increasing body
of evidence suggests that rapid evolution and coevolution can alter these interactions, with …

Kin competition as driver of range expansions

KV Petegem, F Moerman, M Dahirel, EA Fronhofer… - bioRxiv, 2017 - biorxiv.org
With ongoing global change, life is continuously forced to move to novel areas, which leads
to dynamically changing species ranges and imposes rapid shifts in biotic communities and …
