Ectothermic animals, such as amphibians and reptiles, are particularly sensitive to rapidly
warming global temperatures. One response in these organisms may be to evolve aspects …

Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

Research on growing American political polarization and antipathy primarily studies public
institutions and political processes, ignoring private effects, including strained family ties …

Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Many species face extinction risks owing to climate change, and there is an urgent need to
identify which species' populations will be most vulnerable. Plasticity in heat tolerance …

Current narratives suggest that urban adaptation–the adaptive evolution of organisms to
cities–is pervasive across taxa and cities. However, in reviewing hundreds of studies, we …

Following decades of intensive study, Anolis lizards have emerged as a biological model
system. We review how new research on anoles has advanced our understanding of …

Although research performed in cities will not uncover new evolutionary mechanisms, it
could provide unprecedented opportunities to examine the interplay of evolutionary forces in …

Biologists have long debated the role of behavior in evolution, yet understanding of its role
as a driver of adaptation is hampered by the scarcity of experimental studies of natural …

Understanding the motors and brakes that guide physiological evolution is a topic of keen
interest, and is of increasing importance in light of global climate change. For more than half …
