The effects of within-generation plasticity vs. transgenerational plasticity on trait expression
are poorly understood, but important for evaluating plasticity's evolutionary consequences …

Extreme warming events can profoundly alter the transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne
diseases by affecting mosquito life-history traits (eg survival, growth and reproduction). At …

The environmental conditions experienced by parents influence next generations, with the
