The microbiome shapes many host traits, yet the biology of microbiomes challenges
traditional evolutionary models. Here, we illustrate how integrating the microbiome into …

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 …

Climate change is altering phenology and distributions of many species and further changes
are projected. Can species physiologically adapt to climate warming? We analyse thermal …

Much research has been devoted to identify the conditions under which selection favours
flexible individuals or genotypes that are able to modify their growth, development and …

ABSTRACT Glyphosate [N‐(phosphonomethyl) glycine] is a broad spectrum, post emergent
herbicide and is among the most widely used agricultural chemicals globally. Initially …

In an era of rapid climate change, there is a pressing need to understand how organisms will
cope with faster and less predictable variation in environmental conditions. Here we develop …

Basal or standard metabolic rate reflects the minimum amount of energy required to
maintain body processes, while the maximum metabolic rate sets the ceiling for aerobic …

During times of rapid environmental change, survival of most vertebrate populations
depends on their phenomic plasticity. Although differential gene-expression and post …

Phenotypic characteristics of animals can change independently from changes in the
genetic code. These plastic phenotypic responses are important for population persistence …

Recent studies in the field of behavioural ecology have revealed intriguing variation in
behaviour within single populations. Increasing evidence suggests that individual animals …
