This study uses experimental evolution in seed beetles to show that structural variants and sex-specific genetic factors influence lifespan evolution.

The paper identifies genomic signatures of fluctuating selection in rock ptarmigan populations over an 11-year period, showing allele frequency changes correlated with demographic cycles.

This study investigates thermal adaptation in gene expression of Callosobruchus maculatus through experimental evolution, finding genetic compensation dominates cold adaptation while heat adaptation shows mixed modes with greater repeatability.

The paper tests how temperature affects genomic predictions of adaptation by evolving beetles under hot and cold conditions, finding faster phenotypic evolution at hot temperatures but less genomic repeatability.

The paper models how climate warming affects insect pest life-history traits and agricultural impact using thermodynamics and life-history theory, finding increased pest damage under warming.

This study shows that adaptation to complex environments involves trade-offs and pleiotropic effects, with mutations affecting multiple biological processes and recurrent gene targets.
