The interaction between predator and prey is an evolutionary arms race, for which early
detection by either party is often the key to success. In aquatic ecosystems, olfaction is an …

▪ Abstract Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity is widespread in nature and includes
variation in life history, morphology, and behavior. In organisms with complex life histories …

Past research found that environmental uncertainty leads people to behave differently
depending on their childhood environment. For example, economic uncertainty leads …

Prey species possess a variety of morphological, life history and behavioural adaptations to
evade predators. While specific evolutionary conditions have led to the expression of …

Somatic evolution during cancer progression and therapy results in tumour cells that show a
wide range of phenotypes, which include rapid proliferation and quiescence. Evolutionary …

Metamorphosis has intrigued biologists for a long time as an extreme form of complex life
cycles that are ubiquitous in animals. While investigated from a variety of perspectives, the …

The global obesity epidemic remains poorly understood, partly because it has emerged
alongside persisting under‐nutrition in many populations. At an abstract level, obesity …

Invasive predators can exert strong selection on native populations. If selection is strong
enough, populations could lose the phenotypic variation caused by adaptation to …

Induced defenses are widespread in nature, and in amphibian larvae they are often
expressed as altered behavior and changes in tail shape, color, and size. Theory predicts …

Predator-prey interactions govern the evolution of many behavioral and morphological traits
of aquatic animals. In aquatic environments, chemical cues reliably allow prey to assess and …
