Theory can help address cell and molecular biology’s major challenges, particularly those arising from large omics datasets.

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity is expected to evolve when environmental conditions change predictably over time. This has led to the hypothesis that ectotherms in environments with low temperature sea...

Sex chromosome evolution is among the most dynamic genomic innovations in vertebrates, yet why some lineages evolve XY while others evolve ZW remains unclear. Using chromosome-level genomes from 19 ge...

Vaughn et al. show that hurricanes drive parallel genomic selection signatures in island anoles. One candidate locus (hs6st1) is associated with rear toe length. CRISPR disruption reduces hindfoot ele...

1. Adaptive phenotypic plasticity can help organisms cope with global warming by increasing their heat tolerance, yet most research has focused on whole-organism traits. Much less is known about therm...

Communications Biology - Lack of variation in thermoregulatory capacity or thermal tolerance in butterflies across an elevational gradient suggests limited adaptive capacity. Poorer...

Extinction risk forecasting typically relies on comparing thermal tolerance data to predicted shifts in thermal distributions. However, changing temporal sequencing of temperatures may exacerbate the....

Leaf shape plasticity expression is variable in Mimulus laciniatus.

Invasive species cause major disturbances to endemic wildlife and often displace native species. Behavioral aggression can contribute to invasive spec…

Small lizards in New Orleans have an “unprecedented” tolerance for the toxic heavy metal. How are they even alive?

Brown lizards in New Orleans carry more lead in their blood than any other animal on record — levels that would kill humans — yet they seem unfazed, according to new Tulane study.

Lead (Pb) is an extremely toxic heavy metal pollutant pervasive in many environments with serious health consequences for humans and wildlife. We foun…

A study using flies of the genus Drosophila adapted to life in diverse thermal environments shows how evolution has shaped temperature preference by acting on both molecular heat receptors and thermosensory circuits in the flies.

New studies quantify how intact ecosystems improve human health

Summary: Investigation of gamete heat sensitivity reveals heat tolerance and repeatability in lizard sperm. These findings are essential for understanding reproductive responses to climate change.

White-faced capuchins with a stronger stress response to previous droughts were more likely to survive a severe El Niño drought.

Climate warming with associated heat waves presents a concerning challenge for ectotherms such as fishes. During heatwaves, the ability to rapidly acc…
