It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, and …

As climate change progresses, we are observing widespread changes in phenotypes in
many plant populations. Whether these phenotypic changes are directly caused by climate …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Species are the unit of analysis in many global change and conservation biology studies;
however, species are not uniform entities but are composed of different, sometimes locally …

Humans challenge the phenotypic, genetic, and cultural makeup of species by affecting the
fitness landscapes on which they evolve. Recent studies show that cities might play a major …

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by
human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its …

Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …

Efforts to develop a global understanding of the functioning of the Earth as a system began
in the mid-1980s. This effort necessitated linking knowledge from both the physical and …

Urban Evolutionary Biology fills an important knowledge gap on wild organismal evolution in
the urban environment, whilst offering a novel exploration of the fast-growing new field of …
