Evolution of Reproductive Plasticity in a Seasonal Tropical Environment
We reveal widespread occurrence of seasonal reproductive plasticity, including reproductive diapause, in Nymphalid butterflies in a seasonal rainforest in the Amazon. This highlights that, not only in temperate but also tropical habitats, seasonality is an important driver of plastic life history strategies. ABSTRACT Seasonality can drive the evolution

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many small endotherms employ torpor as a survival strategy to reduce energy expenditure during periods with low food availability and cold temperatures. The expression and physiology of torpor can vary substantially within species because of phenotypic plasticity and ...

A response to ‘Quantifying phenotypic plasticity at multiple levels—A comment on Gómez et al.’
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In this reply, we clarify several conceptual misunderstandings raised in response to our Perspective on quantifying phenotypic plasticity. We emphasize that our central argument concerns the rigorous estimation of the magnitude of plasticity, rather than its mere ...

Amazonia's Cassava and Manioc Through Historical Times
ABSTRACT This provocation calls readers to think more deeply about the role anthropology could play in radically disrupting plant blindness. Thanks to Environmental Humanities, the natural world is no longer apprehended as a mere backdrop to human activity.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity has long played a central role in eco‐evolutionary theory, but it was not until 20 years ago that it was proposed that the term encompasses two distinct phenomena—developmental plasticity and phenotypic flexibility. While this terminology has since

Quantifying phenotypic plasticity: A call for consistency
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The interest of evolutionary, functional and applied ecologists in the study of phenotypic plasticity has grown considerably in recent decades. From being considered irrelevant in the mid‐20th century, phenotypic plasticity is now considered ubiquitous and essential for

Urban developmental environments alter tadpole phenotypes depending on origin
Urbanisation has rapidly altered the ecological and evolutionary contexts for many species. Using a reciprocal transplant experiment with frog larvae, we find that urban environments can alter morphological, developmental and behavioural traits at both ecological and evolutionary scales.
