Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological
processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population …

Recently there has been a growing concern that many published research findings do not
hold up in attempts to replicate them. We argue that this problem may originate from a …

Quantifying the abundance of species is essential to ecology, evolution, and conservation.
The distribution of species abundances is fundamental to numerous longstanding questions …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Plant biology is experiencing a renewed interest in the mechanistic underpinnings and
evolution of phenotypic plasticity that calls for a re‐evaluation of how we analyse phenotypic …

Many studies have recorded phenotypic changes in natural populations and attributed them
to climate change. However, controversy and uncertainty has arisen around three levels of …

Growing interest in proximate and ultimate causes and consequences of between‐and
within‐individual variation in labile components of the phenotype–such as behaviour or …

Having recognized that variation around the population-level “Golden Mean” of labile traits
contains biologically meaningful information, behavioural ecologists have focused …

Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges …

Many important questions in ecology and evolutionary biology can only be answered with
data that extend over several decades and answering a substantial proportion of questions …
