Phenotypic plasticity, if adaptive, may allow species to counter the detrimental effects of
extreme conditions, but the infrequent occurrence of extreme environments and/or their …

Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change.
Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …

We begin this article by delineating the explanatory gaps left by prevailing gene‐focused
approaches in our understanding of phenotype determination, inheritance, and the origin of …

Anticipatory parental effects (APE's) occur when parents adjust the phenotype of their
offspring to match the local environment, so as to increase the fitness of both parents and …

The maternal environment exerts important influences on offspring mass/growth,
metabolism, reproduction, neurobiology, immune function, and behavior among birds …

With rapid and less predictable environmental change emerging as the 'new norm',
understanding how individuals tolerate environmental stress via plastic, often reversible …

Our ability to predict how species will respond to human-induced rapid environmental
change (HIREC) may depend upon our understanding of transgenerational plasticity (TGP) …

Existing insight suggests that maternal effects have a substantial impact on evolution, yet
these predictions assume that maternal effects themselves are evolutionarily constant …
