Most adaption processes have a polygenic genetic basis, but even with the recent explosive
growth of genomic data we are still lacking a unified framework describing the dynamics of …

Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

All life forms across the globe are experiencing drastic changes in environmental conditions
as a result of global climate change. These environmental changes are happening rapidly …

Observations about the number, frequency, effect size, and genomic distribution of alleles
associated with complex traits must be interpreted in light of evolutionary process. These …

Pollinator biodiversity loss occurs at unprecedented rates globally, with particularly sharp
declines documented in the North Temperate Zone. There is currently no consensus on the …

The potential for adaptive evolution to enable species persistence under a changing climate
is one of the most important questions for understanding impacts of future climate change …

Life-history traits or “fitness components”—such as age and size at maturity, fecundity and
fertility, age-specific rates of survival, and life span—are the major phenotypic determinants …

Many traits of interest are highly heritable and genetically complex, meaning that much of
the variation they exhibit arises from differences at numerous loci in the genome. Complex …

The repeated adaptation of oceanic threespine sticklebacks to fresh water has made it a
premier organism to study parallel evolution. These small fish have multiple distinct …
