Dimensions of cultural sustainability—Local adaptation, adaptive capacity and social resilience
Frontiers in Political Science, 2023 Cultural sustainability relates to sustainable development. According to UNESCO “culture provides the necessary transformative dimension that ensures the sustainability of development processes.” Originally sustainable development was defined through ...

A window into local adaptation
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2023 How organisms adapt to their environment is not only a central topic of evolutionary biology but also a pressing question in the light of recent global change. Unravelling the genetic basis of these local adaptations can help to predict the response of a population to an increase in temperature or the more frequent occurrence of droughts.

Prospects and limitations of genomic offset in conservation management
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 In nature conservation, there is keen interest in predicting how populations will respond to environmental changes such as climate change. These predictions can help determine whether a population can be self‐sustaining under future alterations of its ...

Mountain chickadees from different elevations sing different songs: acoustic adaptation, temporal drift or signal of local adaptation? [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Song in songbirds is widely thought to function in mate choice and male–male competition. Song is also phenotypically plastic and typically learned from local adults; therefore, it varies across geographical space and can serve as a cue for an individual'

A Locally Adaptive Normal Distribution [PDF]
, 2016 The multivariate normal density is a monotonic function of the distance to the mean, and its ellipsoidal shape is due to the underlying Euclidean metric. We suggest to replace this metric with a locally adaptive, smoothly changing (Riemannian) metric that favors regions of high local density. The resulting locally adaptive normal distribution (LAND) is

Rapid local adaptation linked with phenotypic plasticity
Evolution Letters, 2020 Models of “plasticity‐first” evolution are attractive because they explain the rapid evolution of new complex adaptations. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether plasticity can facilitate rapid microevolutionary change between diverging populations.
