Abstract: Abstract Evolutionary and transgenerational processes affect offspring trait expression. We examined the influence of local adaptations, maternal environment, maternal traits, and changes in seedling environment on progeny performance of Baccharis halimifolia under different salinity and… read more here.

Abstract: Small ruminants are suited to a wide variety of habitats and thus represent promising study models for identifying genes underlying adaptations. Here, we considered local Mediterranean breeds of goats (n = 17) and sheep (n = 25) from Italy,… read more here.

Larval development and poor trophic resource availability: Local adaptations and plasticity in a widespread amphibian species

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14155
Abstract: Theory predicts that, in organisms with complex life cycles, if the earlier‐stage limiting factor induces weak later‐stage phenotypes, the development of the later‐stage trait should evolve to reduce carry‐over effects. Local adaptations could thus favour… read more here.
