Phenotypic characteristics of animals can change independently from changes in the
genetic code. These plastic phenotypic responses are important for population persistence …

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 …

Phenotypic plasticity is a major mechanism of response to global change. However, current
plastic responses will only remain adaptive under future conditions if informative …

Temporal variation in natural selection is predicted to strongly impact the evolution and
demography of natural populations, with consequences for the rate of adaptation, evolution …

Phenotypic plasticity is frequently assumed to be an adaptive mechanism by which
organisms cope with rapid changes in their environment, such as shifts in temperature …

Dietary restriction (DR) under laboratory conditions generally extends life span and delays
ageing across species as diverse as yeast, nematode worms, flies and mice, and is …

Behavior is rapidly flexible and highly context-dependent, which poses obvious challenges
to researchers attempting to dissect its causes. However, over a century of unresolved …

There are many inputs during development that influence an organism's fit to current or
upcoming environments. These include genetic effects, transgenerational epigenetic …

For species to stay temporally tuned to their environment, they use cues such as the
accumulation of degree-days. The relationships between the timing of a phenological event …

Global warming is associated with an increase in sea surface temperature and its variability.
The consequences of evolving in variable, fluctuating environments are explored by a large …
