    Abstract Hybridization between closely related lineages is a mechanism that might promote substantive changes in phenotypic traits of descendants, resulting in transgressive evolution. Interbreeding between divergent but morphologically similar lineages can produce exceptional phenotypes, but the potential for transgressive variation to facilitate long-term trait changes in derived hybrid lineages has received little attention. We compare pollinator-mediated selection on transgressive floral traits in both early-generation and derived hybrid lineages of the Piriqueta cistoides ssp. caroliniana complex. The bowl-shaped flowers of morphotypes in this complex have similar gross morphologies and attract a common suite of small insect pollinators. However, they are defined by significant differences in characters that generate pollinator interest and visitation, including floral area and petal separation. In common garden experiments, patterns of pollen deposition in early-generation recombinant hybrids indicate that Piriqueta's pollinators favour flowers with greater area and reduced petal separation. Changes in floral morphology in derived hybrid lineages are consistent with predictions from selection gradients, but the magnitude of change is limited relative to the range of transgressive variation. These results suggest that hybridization provides variation for evolution of divergent floral traits. However, the potential for extreme transgressive variants to contribute to phenotypic shifts may be limited due to reduced heritability, evolutionary constraints or fitness trade-offs.

    Abstract The comparative approach has become a powerful tool for understanding how predation has shaped prey behavior. In this study we recorded the occurrence of common aquatic predator species and their densities in seven natural populations of Trinidadian guppies, Poecilia reticulata. We then exposed shoals of guppies from each of these populations to a series of predator treatments. Predator treatments differed in the species of predator used (pike cichlids, Crenicichla frenata; rivulus, Rivulus hartii; and freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium carcinus) and thus in the level of risk posed. We recorded the antipredator responses of guppies in each of these predator treatments. The strength of antipredator behavior shown by guppies was affected by both the type of predator they were exposed to and the level of predation risk they experienced naturally in the wild. Importantly, we found that guppies from high-risk populations showed a heightened response, compared to those from lower risk populations, only when exposed to the predator species that posed the greatest risk. Our results show the importance of individual predator species in shaping the behavioral traits of prey species at the population level. This has implications for prey movement between habitats that are geographically close but differ greatly in predator fauna.

    Abstract On-farm actions to better manage natural resources often involve an opportunity cost associated with foregone agricultural production. Spatial information on agricultural opportunity costs is a key indicator that has been demonstrated to increase the cost-effectiveness of environmental investment through spatial targeting. In this paper we develop a method for calculating expected profit as a more robust spatial measure of economic rent accruing from agricultural land and indicator of opportunity cost for use in landscape and planning for natural resource management. We apply this method to the Lower Murray region in southern Australia. Agricultural profit is calculated for three farming system phases (cereals, legumes, and grazing) by census zones based on agricultural statistics and cost of production information within a GIS environment. Zonal profit layers are smoothed using pycnophylactic (mass preserving) interpolation. Farming system rotations are quantified as a set of continuous spatial probability layers for each phase using a moving window kernel density technique based on existing land use data and these probability layers are used in a weighted allocation of expected profit across the landscape. The expected profit layer provides a high spatial resolution description of opportunity costs associated with natural resource management over the Lower Murray region suitable for input into systematic landscape planning analyses. Validation of the opportunity cost layer by field survey identified both random and systematic error. Interpretation of systematic error highlighted the need to augment pycnophylactic interpolation techniques with consideration of covariates of profit such as rainfall for better estimation in areas with high profit gradients.
