Animal personality, consistent individual differences in behaviour, is an important concept
for understanding how individuals vary in how they cope with environmental challenges. In …

As environmental fluctuations are becoming more common, organisms need to rapidly adapt
to anthropogenic, climatic, and ecological changes. Epigenetic modifications and DNA …

Several reduced‐representation bisulfite sequencing methods have been developed in
recent years to determine cytosine methylation de novo in nonmodel species. Here, we …

Disentangling the interaction between the genetic basis and environmental context
underlying phenotypic variation is critical for understanding organismal evolution …

The environment experienced during early life is a crucial factor in the life of many
organisms. This early life environment has been shown to have profound effects on …

To date, studies of the impacts of climate warming on individuals and populations have
mostly focused on mortality and thermal tolerance. In contrast, much less is known about the …

Early-life environment can affect organisms for life on many levels. The glucocorticoid
