Divergent selection across the landscape can favor the evolution of local adaptation in
populations experiencing contrasting conditions. Local adaptation is widely observed in a …

Identifying and monitoring locally adaptive genetic variation can have direct utility for
conserving species at risk, especially when management may include actions such as …

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

Almost 30 y ago, the field of intraspecific phylogeography laid the foundation for spatially
explicit and genealogically informed studies of population divergence. With new methods …

The slow–fast continuum is a commonly used framework to describe variation in life-history
strategies across species. Individual life histories have also been assumed to follow a …

The rate of adaptive evolution, the contribution of selection to genetic changes that increase
mean fitness, is determined by the additive genetic variance in individual relative fitness. To …

Physiology can underlie movement, including short-term activity, exploration of unfamiliar
environments, and larger scale dispersal, and thereby influence species distributions in an …

Urbanization is a growing concern challenging the evolutionary potential of wild populations
by reducing genetic diversity and imposing new selection regimes affecting many key fitness …

Evolutionary adaptation as a response to climate change is expected for fitness‐related
traits affected by climate and exhibiting genetic variance. Although the relationship between …

Environmental heterogeneity can result in spatial variation in selection pressures that can
produce local adaptations. The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis predicts that habitat …
