Renowned evolutionary biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant have produced landmark
studies of the Galápagos finches first made famous by Charles Darwin. In How and Why …

In many organisms, rapidly changing environmental conditions are inducing dramatic shifts
in diverse phenotypic traits with consequences for fitness and population viability. However …

Abstract Natural History Collections (NHCs) represent the world's largest repositories of long-
term biodiversity datasets. Specimen collection and voucher deposition has been the …

Of the myriad responses to climate change, an emerging trend is the widespread decrease
in animal body size with warming temperatures. Birds, in particular, have been shown to be …

The study of evolutionary rates and patterns is the key to understand how natural selection
shaped the current and past diversity of phenotypes. Phylogenetic comparative methods …

Animals are predicted to shrink and shape‐shift as the climate warms, declining in size,
while their appendages lengthen. Determining which types of species are undergoing these …

Alfred Russel Wallace is known for the “Wallace Line” in addition to his work on natural
selection alongside Charles Darwin. This paper reviews Wallace's contributions to evolution …

Cities, through the generation of urban heat islands, provide a venue for exploring
contemporary convergent evolution to climatic warming. We quantified how repeatable the …

In a recent and impressive analysis of avian morphological data (covering> 250,000 male
birds from 105 species), Youngflesh et al. 1 report that birds breeding in North America have …

Understanding animal movement is at the core of ecology, evolution and conservation
science. Big data approaches for animal tracking have facilitated impactful synthesis …
