Adaptation to climate change through genetic accommodation and assimilation of plastic phenotypes

M Kelly - Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Theory suggests that evolutionary changes in phenotypic plasticity could either hinder or
facilitate evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. Nevertheless, the actual role of evolving …

Evolutionary genomics can improve prediction of species' responses to climate change

AM Waldvogel, B Feldmeyer, G Rolshausen… - Evolution …, 2020 - academic.oup.com

Evolution of heat‐shock protein expression underlying adaptive responses to environmental stress

B Chen, ME Feder, L Kang - Molecular ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Heat‐shock proteins (Hsps) and their cognates are primary mitigators of cell stress. With

Beyond thermal performance curves: modeling time-dependent effects of thermal stress on ectotherm growth rates

JG Kingsolver, HA Woods - The American Naturalist, 2016 - journals.uchicago.edu
Thermal performance curves have been widely used to model the ecological responses of
ectotherms to variable thermal environments and climate change. Such models ignore the …

The importance of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in driving intraspecific variability in thermal niches of marine macrophytes

NG King, NJ McKeown, DA Smale, PJ Moore - Ecography, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
