This study presents an individual-based model to simulate eco-evolutionary dynamics in partially migratory metapopulations under spatio-seasonal environmental variation, showing how migration can mediate population responses to environmental changes.

This study evolves nematodes in fluctuating vs. slowly increasing temperatures, finding increased body size plasticity but not bet-hedging in fluctuating environments.

This paper develops a stochastic dynamic model to study how bats optimize energy use and foraging behavior at high latitudes, finding that photoperiod is the main factor limiting their distribution.

This paper models how genotype-level bet-hedging influences the optimal degree of phenotypic plasticity by reducing fitness variance across environmental conditions.

This study shows that rapid environmental temperature fluctuations select for shorter lifespan in nematodes, contradicting classical theory that predicts longer lifespan under variable environments.

The paper investigates how bet-hedging and variance-prone strategies evolve under different environmental conditions and predicts their favorability based on decision events and fitness accumulation patterns.

The paper models how environmental variability affects phenotypic variation to maximize long-term fitness, showing generalists are favored under multiplicative fitness effects.

The paper examines how adaptive insurance and bet-hedging strategies interact in variable environments, showing that canalization is often favored over conservative bet-hedging.
