The concept of evolvability emerged in the early 1990s and soon became fashionable as a
label for different streams of research in evolutionary biology. In evolutionary quantitative …

Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

The degree to which developmental biases affect trait evolution is subject to much debate.
Here, we first quantify fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental variability, ie …

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 …

If genetic constraints are important, then rates and direction of evolution should be related to
trait evolvability. Here we use recently developed measures of evolvability to test the genetic …

Climate change profoundly impacts ecosystems and their biota, resulting in range shifts,
novel interactions, food web alterations, changed intensities of host—parasite interactions …

Although temperature variation is known to cause large-scale adaptive divergence, its
potential role as a selective factor over microgeographic scales is less well-understood …

Thermal tolerance influences the distribution and abundance of many species, but the
adaptive capacity of species to increase upper thermal tolerance is poorly understood …

The relevance of genetic constraints for evolutionary change beyond microevolutionary
timescales is debated. The high evolvability of natural populations predicts rapid adaptation …

Thermal performance curves (TPCs) have been estimated in multiple ectotherm species to
understand their thermal plasticity and adaptation and to predict the effect of global warming …
