Organismal development requires the reproducible unfolding of an ordered sequence of
discrete steps (cell fate determination, migration, tissue folding, etc.) in both time and space …

Inferring from patterns observed in biomedical research, ecoimmunological theory predicts
that oxidative stress is a ubiquitous physiological cost that contributes to generating variation …

Evolvability is the capacity of a population to generate heritable variation that can be acted
upon by natural selection. This ability influences the adaptations and fitness of individual …

The Venice Lagoon is an important site belonging to the Italian Long-Term Ecological
Research Network (LTER). Alongside with the increasing trend of water temperature and the …

Premise Increased aridity and drought associated with climate change are exerting
unprecedented selection pressures on plant populations. Whether populations can rapidly …

Many studies have quantified the ecological impacts of individual foundation species (FS).
However, emerging data suggest that FS often co‐occur, potentially inhibiting or facilitating …

Predator responses to warming can occur via phenotypic plasticity, evolutionary adaptation
or a combination of both, changing their top-down effects on prey communities. However, we …

Simple Summary Heat waves can have fatal effects on arthropods such as insects and mites
since their heat tolerance is often lower than the diurnal maximum temperatures during heat …

The evolution of unicellular to multicellular life is considered to be an important step in the
origin of life, and it is crucial to study the influence of environmental factors on this process …

Food drives ecology and evolution, but few studies have directly investigated the impacts of
the total amount of food on life history evolution within‐species. Among the limited number of …
