Climate change is shifting the phenology of many species throughout the world. While the interspecific consequences of these phenological shifts have been well documented, the intraspecific shifts and their resultant evolutionary consequences remain relatively unexplored. Here, we present a conceptual ...
The Eurasian steppe is a biome that has undergone massive climate-driven contractions and expansions in the Quaternary. Today, it extends over several thousand kilometers, from the northern coast of the Black Sea in Ukraine in the west throughout Central Asia to northwestern China in the east10....

resilience and the more rigid engineering model. Its emphasis is on identifying 'exposure' and 'vulnerability' to risk from climate events and on bouncing back from the consequences of such exposures to a normal state, rather than on the dynamic process of transformation to a more desirable ...
“Landscape resilience represents a spatially explicit approach that applies resilience theory to understand landscape dynamics in response to disturbances and their ecological and socio-economic consequences” (Wu 2021). In POC-CE 2021, the concept was often used as a buzzword, primarily linked to ...
"There is the perception, and ample evidence, that extreme events seem to be increasing—things like heat waves, drought, heavy rain, etc.," Siepielski said. "What are the consequences of those events for how organisms might adapt and the resulting abundances of species?" ...
Indeed, sexual reproduction can have profound and varied consequences for dispersal evolution and local adaptation, depending on species’ mating ecology. For example, population genetic models show that strong inbreeding depression can select for increased dispersal, but that the inbreeding-avoidance benefi...
Consequences of climate warming without preference for sex-reversed males When we assumed that all females preferred normal males (scenario 0%CR), a continuous rise in environmental temperatures resulted in changes in population structure in terms of genotypes and phenotypic sexes, leading to evolutiona...

Climate warming may increase the frequency of cold-adapted haplotypes in alpine plants Introduction Following reports of the current detrimental impact of climate change on biodiversity1, there is an urgent need to understand and predict the consequences of climate change on species persistence to inform...
