Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Theory suggests that evolutionary changes in phenotypic plasticity could either hinder or
facilitate evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. Nevertheless, the actual role of evolving …

Climate change is leading to shifts in species geographical distributions, but populations are
also probably adapting to environmental change at different rates across their range. Owing …

Animal and plant species around the world are being challenged by the deleterious effects
of inbreeding, loss of genetic diversity, and maladaptation due to widespread habitat …

Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

Understanding how natural populations will respond to rapid anthropogenic climate change
is one of the greatest challenges for ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Much research …

With rapid and less predictable environmental change emerging as the 'new norm',
understanding how individuals tolerate environmental stress via plastic, often reversible …

Environmental heterogeneity gives rise to phenotypic variation through a combination of
phenotypic plasticity and fixed genetic effects. For reef-building corals, understanding the …

Species with large geographical ranges provide an excellent model for studying how
different populations respond to dissimilar local conditions, particularly with respect to …

Copepods are key components of aquatic habitats across the globe. Understanding how
they respond to warming is important for predicting the effects of climate change on aquatic …
