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

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Many studies have recorded phenotypic changes in natural populations and attributed them
to climate change. However, controversy and uncertainty has arisen around three levels of …

Species across a wide range of taxa and habitats are shifting phenological events in
response to climate change. While advances are common, shifts vary in magnitude and …

Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Evolutionary-biological reasoning suggests that individuals should be differentially
susceptible to environmental influences, with some people being not just more vulnerable …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …
