Phenotypic plasticity (the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in
response to variation in the environment) is commonplace. Yet its evolutionary significance …

Phenotypic plasticity can serve as a step** stone towards adaptation. Recently, studies
have shown that gene expression contributes to emergent stress responses such as thermal …

Local adaptation is ubiquitous, but the molecular mechanisms that give rise to this
ecological phenomenon remain largely unknown. A year-long reciprocal transplant of …

There is considerable interest in the occurrence and molecular mechanisms of phenotypic
plasticity and genotype-by-environment interactions (G× E) in plant populations. The …

The relationship between genotype (which is inherited) and phenotype (the target of
selection) is mediated by environmental inputs on gene expression, trait development, and …

The importance of the cladoceran Daphnia as a model organism for ecotoxicity testing has
been well-established since the 1980s. Daphnia have been increasingly used in …

Laboratory microcosm experiments using protists as model organisms have a long tradition
and are widely used to investigate general concepts in population biology, community …

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to cope with environmental variability, and
yet, despite its adaptive significance, phenotypic plasticity is neither ubiquitous nor infinite. In …

Arabidopsis thaliana inhabits diverse climates and exhibits varied phenology across its
range. Although A. thaliana is an extremely well‐studied model species, the relationship …

Rapid (co‐) evolution at multiple timescales is a hallmark of plant–microbe interactions. The
mechanistic basis for the rapid evolution largely rests on the features of the genomes of the …
