Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

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 …

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 …

Ectotherms generally shrink under experimental warming, but whether this pattern extends
to wild populations is uncertain. We analysed ten million visual survey records, spanning the …

Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity for an individual genotype to produce different
phenotypes in response to environmental variation. Most traits are plastic, but the degree to …

It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, and …

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 …

Local adaptation has been a major focus of evolutionary ecologists working across diverse
systems for decades. However, little of this research has explored variation at …

Local adaptation in the sea was regarded historically as a rare phenomenon that was limited
to a handful of species with exceptionally low dispersal potential. However, a growing body …

Comparative studies of the divergence of quantitative traits and neutral molecular markers,
known as Q ST–F ST comparisons, provide a means for researchers to distinguish between …
