As ecosystems undergo global changes, there is increasing interest in understanding how
organisms respond to changing environments. Recent evidence drawn from available …

In organisms with complex life cycles, environmentally induced plasticity across sequential
stages can have important consequences on morphology and life history traits such as …

Variable thermal environments experienced by most organisms warrant mechanisms to
adjust the expression of phenotypic values to environmental needs. Here we explored short …

The adaptability of organisms to novel environmental conditions depends on the amount of
genetic variance present in the population as well as on the ability of individuals to adjust …

In natural populations, the large changes in chromosomal structure occurring through
chromosomal inversions show pronounced variations in frequency that often correspond to …

Temperature is one of the main environmental cues regulating seasonal plasticity in insects.
Global climate change may lead to a change in the predictive value of temperature for …

Morphometrics has established itself as one of the most powerful tools for species
delimitation, particularly for morphologically-conserved groups of insects. An interesting …

Sperm competition is a crucial aspect of male reproductive success in many species,
including Drosophila melanogaster, and seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) can influence sperm …

Climate change, exerting thermal stress, and habitat destruction and fragmentation, resulting
in genetic drift and inbreeding, are amongst the most disturbing human activities that …

Phenotypic plasticity has been described for morphological and life-history traits in many
organisms. In Drosophila, temperature drives phenotypic change in several traits, but few …
