Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate
change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation …

Understanding how natural populations will respond to rapid anthropogenic climate change
is one of the greatest challenges for ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Much research …

Since the transition from water to land, maintaining water balance has been a key challenge
for terrestrial arthropods. We explore factors that allow terrestrial arthropods to survive within …

Male–female coevolution has taken different paths among closely related species, but our
understanding of the factors that govern its direction is limited. While it is clear that …

Abstract The Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is native to Southeast Asia.
Since its first detection in 2008 in Europe and North America, it has been a pest to the fruit …

Conservation breeding programs such as zoos play a major role in preventing extinction, but
their sustainability may be impeded by neutral and adaptive population genetic change …

Anthropogenic climate change and invasive species are two of the greatest threats to
biodiversity, affecting the survival, fitness and distribution of many species around the globe …

Acclimation and other forms of plasticity that can increase stress resistance feature strongly
in discussions surrounding climate change impacts or vulnerability projections of insects …

Plasticity in traits in response to environmental conditions can increase fitness, expanding
the range of environments within which a genotype can generate viable and productive …

Water is essential, irreplaceable, and indispensable for any kind of carbon-based-life
metabolic activity. Water-dependent living beings are the expected pattern in nature …
