Developmental plasticity refers to the property by which the same genotype produces
distinct phenotypes depending on the environmental conditions under which development …

There is increasing evidence that phenotypic plasticity can promote population divergence
by facilitating phenotypic diversification and, eventually, genetic divergence. When a …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Global climate change is considered an irreversible problem, which might directly or
indirectly affect all the organisms and ecosystems on the earth and the world has to struggle …

Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity for an individual genotype to produce different
phenotypes in response to environmental variation. Most traits are plastic, but the degree to …

Climate change is expected to have various impacts on forest ecosystems through drought,
heat stress, insect invasions and forest fires. Therefore, lack of taking the necessary …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …

Metabolic rate determines the physiological and life-history performances of ectotherms.
Thus, the extent to which such rates are sensitive and plastic to environmental perturbation …

Evidence of phenotypic parallelism is often used to infer the deterministic role played by
natural selection. However, variation in the extent or direction of divergence is often evident …

Gene flow between phenotypically divergent populations can disrupt local adaptation or,
alternatively, may stimulate adaptive evolution by increasing genetic variation. We …
