Many biologists are asking whether environmentally initiated phenotypic change
(ie,'phenotypic plasticity') precedes, and even facilitates, evolutionary adaptation. However …

Increased urbanization represents a formidable challenge for wildlife. Nevertheless, a few
species appear to thrive in the evolutionarily novel environment created by cities …

I outline how understanding the mechanism of behavioural plasticity is important for
predicting how organisms will respond to rapidly changing and novel environments. I define …

Humans have brought about unprecedented changes to environments worldwide. For many
species, behavioral adjustments represent the first response to altered conditions. In this …

The current paper synthesizes theory and data from the field of life history (LH) evolution to
advance a new developmental theory of variation in human LH strategies. The theory posits …

This review describes new developments in the study of transgenerational epigenetic
inheritance, a component of epigenetics. We start by examining the basic concepts of the …

The influence of genetic variation on invasion success has captivated researchers since the
start of the field of invasion genetics 50 years ago. We review the history of work on this …

Highly sophisticated mechanisms that modulate protein structure and function, which involve
synthesis and degradation, have evolved to maintain cellular homeostasis. Perturbations in …

Abstract Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)
represent the front-line tools for malaria vector control globally, but are optimally effective …

The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often
behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale …
