With the rapid increase in production of genetic data from new sequencing technologies, a
myriad of new ways to study genomic patterns in nonmodel organisms are currently …

Conifers have been understudied at the genomic level despite their worldwide ecological
and economic importance but the situation is rapidly changing with the development of next …

Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity for an individual genotype to produce different
phenotypes in response to environmental variation. Most traits are plastic, but the degree to …

A substantial amount of phenotypic diversity results from changes in gene expression levels
and patterns. Understanding how the transcriptome evolves is therefore a key priority in …

Phenotypic plasticity, the expression of multiple phenotypes from one genome, is a
widespread adaptation to short-term environmental fluctuations, but whether it facilitates …

In situ adaptation to climate change will be critical for the persistence of many ectotherm
species due to their relative lack of dispersal capacity. Climate change is causing increases …

While several studies have investigated general properties of the genetic architecture of
natural variation in gene expression, few of these have considered natural, outbreeding …

Heterozygous alleles are widespread in outcrossing and clonally propagated woody plants.
The variation in heterozygosity that underlies population adaptive evolution and phenotypic …

Organisms may respond to changing environments through phenotypic plasticity or adaptive
evolution. These two processes are not mutually exclusive and may either dampen or …

Background Host immune function can contribute to numerous ecological/evolutionary
processes. Ecoimmunological studies, however, typically use one/few phenotypic immune …
