The concept of evolvability emerged in the early 1990s and soon became fashionable as a
label for different streams of research in evolutionary biology. In evolutionary quantitative …

In many organisms, rapidly changing environmental conditions are inducing dramatic shifts
in diverse phenotypic traits with consequences for fitness and population viability. However …

Inbreeding may increase the extinction risk of small populations. Yet, studies using modern
genomic tools to investigate inbreeding depression in nature have been limited to single …

Body condition is an important concept in behaviour, evolution and conservation, commonly
used as a proxy of an individual's performance, for example in the assessment of …

An organism's energy budget is strongly related to resource consumption, performance, and
fitness. Hence, understanding the evolution of key energetic traits, such as basal metabolic …

Dispersal affects evolutionary processes by changing population size and genetic
composition, influencing the viability and persistence of populations. Investigating which …

Telomere dynamics could underlie life‐history trade‐offs among growth, size and longevity,
but our ability to quantify such processes in natural, unmanipulated populations is limited …

Inbreeding can have negative effects on survival and reproduction, which may be of
conservation concern in small and isolated populations. However, the physiological …

Early‐life telomere length (TL) is associated with fitness in a range of organisms. Little is
known about the genetic basis of variation in TL in wild animal populations, but to …

Dispersal has a crucial role determining ecoevolutionary dynamics through both gene flow
and population size regulation. However, to study dispersal and its consequences, one must …
