Myriad mechanisms have evolved to adapt to changing environments. Environmental stimuli
alter organisms' physiology to create memories of previous environments. Whether these …

The credibility of the Weismann barrier has come into question. Several studies in various
animal systems, from mice to worms, have shown that novel environmental stimuli can …

Many herbivorous insects have specific host–plant preferences, and it is unclear how these
preferences evolved. Previously, we found that Bicyclus anynana larvae can learn to prefer …

Individuals differ in personality and immediate behavioural plasticity. While developmental
environment may explain this group diversity, the effect of parental environment is still …

Environmental variation experienced by a single genotype can induce phenotypic plasticity
in various traits, such as behavioural, physiological and developmental characteristics. It can …

The mechanisms whereby environmental experiences of parents are transmitted to their
offspring to impact their behaviour and fitness are poorly understood. Previously, we showed …

Coevolution is often found in parasite–host interactions, but has not yet been described for
hemiparasitic plants and their hosts. Root hemiparasites like Rhinanthus alectorolophus …

Simple Summary The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a polyphagous insect pest.
The host plants influence the feeding of herbivorous insects, which affects their growth and …

Research on social learning has centered around vertebrates, but evidence is accumulating
that small-brained, non-social arthropods also learn from others. Social learning can lead to …

Sperm histones represent an essential part of the paternally transmitted epigenome, but
uncertainty exists about the role of those remaining in non-coding and repetitive DNA. We …
