Abstract. Understanding organismal responses to dynamic environments is becoming increasingly important in our rapidly changing world. Beyond genetic adapt

STANFORD, CA—Calling it a “pretty slow one” as far as natural selection and genetic drift were concerned, biologists from Stanford University confirmed Tuesday that not much evolution happened today. ...

Comprehensive review of fieldwork safety literature across disciplines yields synthesized recommendations.

Local adaptation along altitudinal gradients is well documented in many plant species, however the genetic basis of adaptive variation over these steep environmental clines remains poorly understood. ...

Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which organisms can cope with environmental heterogeneity, but its evolutionary consequences depend on how plastic responses align with the broader adaptive...
