A key goal of biology is to understand phenotypic characteristics, such as health, disease
and evolutionary fitness. Phenotypic variation is produced through a complex web of …

Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …

During the last quarter of a century, the evolution of the thermal sensitivity of performance in
ectotherms has become a major focus of research programs in evolutionary physiology …

Although many of the statistical techniques used in comparative biology were originally
developed in quantitative genetics, subsequent development of comparative techniques has …

Glucocorticoids hormones (GC s) are intuitively important for mediation of age‐dependent
vertebrate life‐history transitions through their effects on ontogeny alongside underpinning …

Over the past 30 years, one of the most rapidly expanding areas in ecology has been the
development of structured population models, where individuals have attributes such as …

Tradeoffs have played a prominent role in the development of theories describing the
evolution of reaction norms. Different classes of tradeoffs are known to constrain the …
