We review mechanisms for pre-emptive acclimation in plants and propose a conceptual
model linking developmental and evolutionary ecology with the acquisition of information …

To celebrate its centenary year, Journal of Experimental Biology (JEB) commissioned a
collection of articles examining the past, present and future of experimental biology. This …

Technologies like genetic modification and editing (GME) present exciting opportunities to
improve ecological sustainability and biodiversity. They do, however, have several ethical …

Plants and ecosystems worldwide are exposed to a wide range of chemical, physical, and
biological factors of global change, many of which act concurrently. As bringing order to the …

Understanding the factors that influence the resilience of biological systems to
environmental change is a pressing concern in the face of increasing human impacts on …

Understanding the dynamics of predator–prey systems in the presence of different
environmental variability is crucial in ecology for forecasting population behaviour and …

Background Extreme rainfall and flooding events are projected to increase in frequency and
disturb biogeochemical cycles such as the nitrogen (N) cycle. By combining trees and …

Uncertainty in biology refers to situations in which information is imperfect or unknown.
Variability, on the other hand, is measured by the frequency distribution of observed data …

Multiple context-specific resilience frameworks with explicit assumptions have limited their
application over a wide range of complex systems. Ability to withstand and recover …

Behavioural ecology by definition of its founding 'Tinbergian framework'is an integrative
field, however, it lags behind in incorporating genomic methods.'Finding the gene/s for a …
