Experimental evolution is the study of evolutionary processes occurring in experimental
populations in response to conditions imposed by the experimenter. This research approach …

Phenotypic plasticity, the property by which living organisms express different phenotypes
depending on environmental conditions, can impact their response to environmental …

Range expansions are central to two ecological issues reshaping patterns of global
biodiversity: biological invasions and climate change. Traditional theory considers range …

Natural selection is notoriously dynamic in nature, and so, too, is sexual selection. The
interactions between phytophagous insects and their host plants have provided valuable …

Theoretical models of life‐history evolution predict a continuum of fast to slow life histories,
yet most of empirical support for this theory comes from studies that have considered …

The tick Ixodes ricinus finds its hosts by climbing vegetation and adopting a sit-and-wait
tactic. This “questing” behaviour is known to be temperature-dependent, such that questing …

Expression of phenotypic plasticity depends on reaction norms adapted to historic selective
regimes; anthropogenic changes in these selection regimes necessitate contemporary …

Subtle variations in early rearing environment influence morphological, cognitive and
behavioural processes that together impact on adult fitness. We manipulated habitat …

There are increasing calls to incorporate developmental plasticity into the framework of eco-
evolutionary dynamics. The current way is via genotype-specified reaction norms in which …

Trait polymorphisms are widespread in nature, and explaining their stable co-existence is a
central problem in ecology and evolution. Alternative reproductive tactics, in which …
