Climate change is predicted to dramatically alter biological diversity and distributions,
driving extirpations, extinctions, and extensive range shifts across the globe. Warming can …

Mutational input is the ultimate source of genetic variation, but mutations are not thought to
affect the direction of adaptive evolution. Recently, critics of standard evolutionary theory …

The degree to which developmental biases affect trait evolution is subject to much debate.
Here, we first quantify fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental variability, ie …

Predicting if, when, and how populations can adapt to climate change constitutes one of the
greatest challenges in science today. Here, we build from contributions to the special issue …

Temperature affects cellular processes at different spatiotemporal scales, and identifying the
genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying temperature responses paves the way to …

Climates are changing rapidly, demanding equally rapid adaptation of natural populations.
Whether sexual selection can aid such adaptation is under debate; while sexual selection …

Abstract Theory maintains that when future environment is predictable, parents should
adjust the phenotype of their offspring to match the anticipated environment. The plausibility …

To mitigate the effects of climate change, it is important to understand species' responses to
increasing temperatures. This has often been done by studying survival or activity at …

The role of mutations have been subject to many controversies since the formation of the
Modern Synthesis of evolution in the early 1940ties. Geneticists in the early half of the …

Animal sociality plays a crucial organisational role in evolution. As a result, understanding
the factors that promote the emergence, maintenance, and diversification of animal societies …
