The consequences of among‐individual phenotypic variation for the performance and
ecological success of populations and species has attracted growing interest in recent …

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 …

Biological diversity is threatened by exploitation, fragmentation of natural habitats, pollution,
climate change, and anthropogenic spread of species. The question of how among …

Several evolutionary processes shape the genetic and phenotypic differentiation of
populations. Among them, the joint effects of gene flow, selection and phenotypic plasticity …

Phenotypic plasticity (the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in
response to variation in the environment) is commonplace. Yet its evolutionary significance …

Natural populations consist of phenotypically diverse individuals that exhibit variation in their
demographic parameters and intra-and inter-specific interactions. Recent experimental work …

Divergent natural selection, adaptive divergence and gene flow may interact in a number of
ways. Recent studies have focused on the balance between selection and gene flow in …

Populations adapt to novel environments in two distinct ways: selection on pre-existing
genetic variation and selection on new mutations. These alternative sources of beneficial …

Theoretical and empirical studies are showing evidence in support of evolutionary
branching and sympatric speciation due to frequency-dependent competition. However …

There is relatively little information on how evolutionary processes that alter genetic variation
in a focal species may affect interactions with other species, impact the structure or function …
