Since the early 1990s, ecologists and evolutionary biologists have aggregated primary
research using meta‐analytic methods to understand ecological and evolutionary …

Theory suggests that evolutionary changes in phenotypic plasticity could either hinder or
facilitate evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. Nevertheless, the actual role of evolving …

Phenotypic plasticity–the ability of an individual organism to alter its features in direct
response to a change in its environment–is ubiquitous. Understanding how and why this …

Phenotypic plasticity, if adaptive, may allow species to counter the detrimental effects of
extreme conditions, but the infrequent occurrence of extreme environments and/or their …

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 …

Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change.
Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to …

Background Plastic responses of plants to the environment are ubiquitous. Phenotypic
plasticity occurs in many forms and at many biological scales, and its adaptive value …

Meaningful comparison of variation in quantitative trait requires controlling for both the
dimension of the varying entity and the dimension of the factor generating variation …

Interest in individual differences in animal behavioural plasticities has surged in recent
years, but research in this area has been hampered by semantic confusion as different …

Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate
change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation …
