Transgenerational effects that are interpreted in terms of epigenetics have become an
important research focus at a time when rapid environmental changes are occurring. These …

Experimental evolution is well-suited to test the predictability of evolution without the
confounding effects of inaccurate forecasts about future environments. Most of the literature …

The genetic architecture of adaptive traits is of key importance to predict evolutionary
responses. Most adaptive traits are polygenic—ie, result from selection on a large number of …

Animal and plant species around the world are being challenged by the deleterious effects
of inbreeding, loss of genetic diversity, and maladaptation due to widespread habitat …

Allele frequency time series data constitute a powerful resource for unraveling mechanisms
of adaptation, because the temporal dimension captures important information about …

Understanding evolutionary responses to variation in temperature and precipitation across
species ranges is of fundamental interest given ongoing climate change. The importance of …

Following invasion, insects can become adapted to conditions experienced in their invasive
range, but there are few studies on the speed of adaptation and its genomic basis. Here, we …

Background Population genetic theory predicts that rapid adaptation is largely driven by
complex traits encoded by many loci of small effect. Because large-effect loci are quickly …

Researchers and practitioners are increasingly using comparative assessments of critical
thermal and physiological limits to assess the relative vulnerability of ectothermic species to …

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 …
