All life forms across the globe are experiencing drastic changes in environmental conditions
as a result of global climate change. These environmental changes are happening rapidly …

Molecular evolution offers an insightful theory to interpret the genomic consequences of
thermal adaptation to previous events of climate change beyond range shifts. However …

The extent until which plastics are present in our surrounding environment completely
exceeds our expectations. Plastic materials in the form of microplastics have been found in …

This paper characterizes the heat stress response (HSR) and explores the impact of
temperatures on the immune response of larvae from two chironomid species, Prodiamesa …

A comprehensive understanding of the genetic mechanisms that shape species responses
to thermal variation is essential for more accurate predictions of the impacts of climate …

A simple agent‐based model is presented that produces results matching the experimental
data found by Lenski's group for≤ 50,000 generations of Escherichia coli bacteria under …

The advent of new and affordable high-throughput sequencing techniques allows for the
investigation of the genetic basis of environmental adaptation throughout the plant and …

Susceptibility to hazardous materials and contamination is largely determined by genetic
make-up and evolutionary history of affected organisms. Yet evolutionary adaptation and …

Ecological adaptation is frequently inferred by the comparison of natural populations from
different environments. Nevertheless, inference of the selective forces suffers the challenge …

Natural populations experience continuous and often transient changes of environmental
conditions. These in turn may result in fluctuating selection pressures leading to variable …
