To forecast extinction risks of natural populations under climate change and direct human
impacts, an integrative understanding of both phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution is …

Urbanisation can affect mating opportunities and thereby alter inter‐and intra‐sexual
selection pressures on sexual traits. Biotic and abiotic urban conditions can influence an …

The evolutionary potential of traits is governed by the amount of heritable variation available
to selection. While this is typically quantified based on genetic variation in a focal individual …

Biologists and philosophers of science have recently called for an extension of evolutionary
theory. This so-called 'extended evolutionary synthesis'(EES) seeks to integrate …

Social traits are expected to experience highly context-dependent selection, but we know
little about the contextual factors that shape selection on social behaviours. We …

An organism's behaviour is influenced by its social environment. Experiences such as social
isolation or crowding may have profound short or long-term effects on an individual's …

Individual differences in cognitive performance can have genetic, social and environmental
components. Most research on the heritability of cognitive traits comes from humans or …

Personality is essential for understanding the evolution of cooperation and conflict in
behavior. However, personality science remains disconnected from the field of social …

Indirect genetic effects (IGE) occur when an individual's phenotype is influenced by genetic
variation in conspecifics. Opportunities for IGE are ubiquitous, and, when present, IGE have …

When biological material is transferred from one individual's body to another, as in ejaculate,
eggs, and milk, secondary donor-produced molecules are often transferred along with the …
