Early survival in Atlantic salmon is associated with parental genotypes at loci linked to timing of maturation

The paper examines how parental genotypes at two large-effect loci influence early survival in Atlantic salmon, showing context-dependent effects linked to maturation timing.

Geothermal stickleback populations prefer cool water despite multigenerational exposure to a warm environment

The paper tests if geothermal stickleback populations exposed to warm environments prefer warmer temperatures, finding no shift in preferred temperature despite long-term exposure.

Experimental demonstration of prenatal programming of mitochondrial aerobic metabolism lasting until adulthood

The paper tests if prenatal conditions affect mitochondrial aerobic metabolism across life stages in birds, finding that high incubation temperature increases metabolism persistently.

Testing the predictability of morphological evolution in contrasting thermal environments

This study shows that morphological responses to temperature changes can be predictable in populations with limited gene flow, but less so when gene flow is present.

Multigenerational exposure to elevated temperatures leads to a reduction in standard metabolic rate in the wild

This study shows that multigenerational exposure to elevated temperatures reduces standard metabolic rate in sticklebacks, with genetic divergence influenced by gene flow between thermal habitats.

Ageing before birth: pace and stability of prenatal growth affect telomere dynamics

This study manipulates prenatal growth in Japanese quail to show that fast and unstable growth reduce telomere length at hatching, with effects persisting into adulthood.
