Genetically identical individuals can be phenotypically variable, even in constant
environmental conditions. The ubiquity of this phenomenon, known as 'intra-genotypic …

Coastal plankton show fluctuations in abundance and species composition. Resting stage
(cyst) production is a common strategy adopted by hundreds of plankton species to ensure …

Plasticity in traits in response to environmental conditions can increase fitness, expanding
the range of environments within which a genotype can generate viable and productive …

Understanding how organisms adaptively respond to environmental fluctuations is a
fundamental question in evolutionary biology. The Mediterranean region typically exhibits …

Climate change–induced phenological shifts are ubiquitous and have the potential to disrupt
natural communities by changing the timing of species interactions. Shifts in first and/or …

For organisms living in unpredictable environments, timing important life‐history events is
challenging. One way to deal with uncertainty is to spread the emergence of offspring across …

An in-depth look at the basic aspects of dormancy in cyclic parthenogenetic organisms is
now possible thanks to research efforts conducted over the past two decades with rotifer …

Environmental fluctuations are ubiquitous and thus essential for the study of adaptation.
Despite this, genome evolution in response to environmental fluctuations—and more …

A non-genetic transgenerational inhibitory effect on sexual reproduction has been
demonstrated in Brachionus plicatilis in relation to environmental predictability. Indeed …

Adaptation to different ecological niches is considered one of the main drivers of species
diversification, also in cryptic species complexes, notwithstanding their morphological stasis …
