The genetic characteristics of populations should be dictated by the interplay of gene flow,
genetic drift and natural selection. Because genetic drift and natural selection reduce …

Human society is dependent on healthy aquatic ecosystems for our basic needs and well-
being. Therefore, knowledge about how organisms respond and interact with their …

hermal performance curves (TPC) have been estimated experimentally in multiple …

Understanding the scale of connectivity and adaptation among marine populations can
inform fisheries conservation and management. We used a combination of advanced …

The flexibility afforded to genotypes in different environments by phenotypic plasticity is of
interest to biologists studying thermal adaptation because of the thermal lability of many …

Understanding the mechanisms and processes that underlie adaptation and which factors
affect the evolutionary potential of populations are central themes in Evolutionary Biology. In …

Ecological factors are known to cause evolutionary diversification. Recent work has shown
that evolution in strongly interacting predator species has reciprocal impacts on ecosystems …

Genotypes can seldom achieve maximal performance across all environments they inhabit.
Instead, increased performance in one environment often comes at a cost of lower …

Climate change has been a part of Earth's history since its beginnings and in the past there
have been periods of heating and cooling of Earth's atmosphere (Zachos et al. 2001) …
