Sex-specific ornament evolution is a consistent feature of climatic adaptation across space and time in dragonflies

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance One of biology’s most pressing goals is to understand how organisms adapt to their climates. Researchers have greatly clarified the ways that organisms evolve to improve their survival in warmer climates, yet a major gap in our knowledge ...

Stress hormone-mediated antipredator morphology improves escape performance in amphibian tadpoles

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Complete functional descriptions of the induction sequences of phenotypically plastic traits (perception to physiological regulation to response to outcome) should help us to clarify how plastic responses develop and operate.
