Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. It strongly influences the dynamics
of spatially structured populations and affects evolutionary processes by shaping patterns of …

Evolutionary quantitative genetics seeks to quantify sources of genetic variation in fitness-
related traits to assess the potential for traits to respond to future natural selection and to …

Summary 1 Genetic and environmental maternal effects can play an important role in the
evolutionary dynamics of a population: they may have a substantial impact on the rate and …

Fatal amphibian chytridiomycosis has typically been associated with the direct costs of
infection. However the relationship between exposure to the pathogen, infection and …

The framework of the plant economics spectrum advanced our understanding of plant
ecology and proved as a unifying concept across plant taxonomy, growth forms and biomes …

Adaptive evolutionary responses are determined by the strength of selection and amount of
genetic variation within traits, however, both are known to vary across environmental …

Intergenerational effects arise when parents' actions influence the reproduction and survival
of their offspring and possibly later descendants. Models suggest that intergenerational …

I review studies on decapod crustaceans to draw conclusions about the importance of
effects of past environmental conditions on development, phenotype, performance, and …

Rana chensinensis (David, 1875) is a temperate anuran endemic to northern China. We
examined differences in demographic traits of the populations from three elevations (1400 …

Differential reproductive investment by the mother can critically influence offspring
development and phenotype, and strong selection is therefore expected to act on such …
