The microbiome shapes many host traits, yet the biology of microbiomes challenges
traditional evolutionary models. Here, we illustrate how integrating the microbiome into …

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 …

Background Investigating the causes and consequences of intraspecific trait variation (ITV)
in plants is not novel, as it has long been recognized that such variation shapes biotic and …

How populations and species respond to modified environmental conditions is critical to
their persistence both now and into the future, particularly given the increasing pace of …

Animal tracking and biologging devices record large amounts of data on individual
movement behaviors in natural environments. In these data, movement ecologists often view …

Phenotypic plasticity–the ability of an individual organism to alter its features in direct
response to a change in its environment–is ubiquitous. Understanding how and why this …

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 …

Extensive experimental animal studies and epidemiological observations have shown that
environmental influences during early development affect the risk of later pathophysiological …

Future increases in drought severity and frequency are predicted to have substantial impacts
on plant function and survival. However, there is considerable uncertainty concerning what …
