Environments are changing rapidly, and to cope with these changes, organisms have to
adapt. Adaptation can take many shapes and occur at different speeds, depending on the …

Evolutionary change is interpreted in terms of the near-universal ecological scenario of
stressful environments. Consequently, there is a premium on the energetically efficient …

In reef corals, much research has focused on the capacity of corals to acclimatize and/or
adapt to different thermal environments, but the majority of work has focused on distinctions …

What factors shape the evolution of invasive populations? Recent theoretical and empirical
studies suggest that an evolutionary history of disturbance might be an important factor. This …

Environmental fluctuations can select for generalism, which is also hypothesized to increase
organisms' ability to invade novel environments. Here, we show that across a range of …

Temperatures are increasing due to global changes, putting biodiversity at risk. Organisms
are faced with a limited set of options to cope with this situation: adapt, disperse or die. We …

The frequency and intensity of extreme heat in the environment have increased in the last
decade. Extreme heating events (EHE) have wide-ranging impacts on biological systems …

Dispersal plasticity, when organisms adjust their dispersal decisions depending on their
environment, can play a major role in ecological and evolutionary dynamics, but how it …

Rapid environmental fluctuations are ubiquitous in the wild, yet majority of experimental
studies mostly consider effects of slow fluctuations on organism. To test the evolutionary …

The association between the insensitivity of adapted ecotypes of invertebrates to
environmental stress, such as heavy metal pollution, and overall low Hsp levels …
