Natural history is the careful observation of nature, wherever nature is. Ultimately, it is what
ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral science are supposed to explain. It is difficult to use …

Background Sub-optimal developmental diets often have adverse effects on long-term
fitness and health. One hypothesis is that such effects are caused by mismatches between …

We assessed the effects of temperature differences on gene expression using whole‐
transcriptome microarrays and cuticular hydrocarbon variation in populations of cactophilic …

Advances in understanding non-genetic inheritance have prompted broader interest in
environmental effects. One way in which such effects may influence adaptation is via the …

El sistema cactus-levadura-Drosophila es un modelo paradigmático en el estudio de la
