The Anthropocene has witnessed catastrophic amphibian declines across the globe. A
multitude of new, primarily human‐induced drivers of decline may lead to extinction, but can …

In the past decade, there has been a resurgent interest in whether and how phenotypic
plasticity might impact evolutionary processes. Of fundamental importance is how the …

Both environmental and genetic influences can result in phenotypic variation. Quantifying
the relative contributions of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity to phenotypes is key to …

While a trade‐off between larval development and adult life span is key to understand why
not all animals develop at their maximum rate and why life histories align along a fast‐slow …

Natural selection favours phenotypes that match prevailing ecological conditions. A rapid
process of adaptation is therefore required in changing environments. Maternal effects can …

Species' range edges are expanding to both warmer and cooler regions. Yet, no studies
directly compared the changes in range‐limiting traits within the same species during both …

Within‐individual plasticity (acclimation) counteracts potentially negative physiological
effects resulting from environmental changes and thereby maintains fitness across a broad …

While oxidative stress has been hypothesized to function both as a constraint on and a cost
of growth, its mediatory role in shaping life history is still highly debated. Empirical studies …

Life‐history theory predicts a trade‐off between early‐life fitness and life span. While the
focus traditionally has been on the fecundity‐life span trade‐off, there are strong reasons to …

The exploitation of novel habitats requires the expression of specific behaviours. This may
occur through both behavioural plasticity and local adaptations, but assessing the relative …
