Impaired mitochondrial function can lead to senescence and the ageing phenotype. Theory
predicts degenerative ageing phenotypes and mitochondrial pathologies may occur more …

The marine ecosystems are under severe climate change‐induced stress globally. The
Baltic Sea is especially vulnerable to ongoing changes, such as warming. The aim of this …

The marine copepod, Tigriopus californicus, produces the red carotenoid pigment
astaxanthin from yellow dietary precursors. This 'bioconversion'of yellow carotenoids to red …

Under climate change, ectotherms will likely face pressure to adapt to novel thermal
environments by increasing their upper thermal tolerance and its plasticity, a measure of …

The adaptive significance of temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) remains
elusive for many long-lived reptiles. Various hypotheses proposed potential ecological …

Local adaptation has been studied in a broad range of taxa for decades. However, we have
limited understanding of how often it occurs in variable environments. Whether phenotypic …

Long life is standardly assumed to be associated with high stress tolerance. Previous work
shows that the copepod Tigriopus californicus breaks this rule, with longer life span under …

Intertidal zones are highly dynamic and harsh habitats: organisms that persist there must
face many stressors, including drastic changes in seawater pH, which can be strongly …

Life-history theory and parental investment theory provide the theoretical framework for
understanding the adaptive strategies employed by organisms to optimize reproductive …

Global climate change will likely impose selective pressures on biodiversity to not only
increase limits for environmental stress, but the phenotypic plasticity of those limits. While we …
