Territories in Transition: how social contexts influence wildland fire adaptive capacity in rural Northwestern European Mediterranean areas
BackgroundRural and semi-rural areas are complex and dynamic social-ecological systems, many of which have experienced profound impacts from wildland...

Land use and life history constrain adaptive genetic variation and reduce the capacity for climate change adaptation in turtles
BackgroundRapid anthropogenic climate change will require species to adapt to shifting environmental conditions, with successful adaptation dependent...

Old and ancient trees are life history lottery winners and vital evolutionary resources for long-term adaptive capacity
Trees can live for many centuries with sustained fecundity and death is largely stochastic. We use a neutral stochastic model to examine tree...

Household resilience capacity and food security: evidence from Kyrgyzstan
Commonly, resilience against external shocks is treated as a household or community capacity. Resiliency against food insecurity is of particular...

Are brood sex ratios adaptive? – The effect of experimentally altered brood sex ratios on parental feeding behaviour
AbstractCorrelations between brood sex ratios (BSRs) and parental or environmental quality have been found in many species. This phenomenon is called...

Neurophysiological avenues to better conceptualizing adaptive cognition
We delve into the human brain’s remarkable capacity for adaptability and sustained cognitive functioning, phenomena traditionally encompassed as...

The adaptive benefit of evolved increases in hemoglobin-O2 affinity is contingent on tissue O2 diffusing capacity in high-altitude deer mice
BackgroundComplex organismal traits are often the result of multiple interacting genes and sub-organismal phenotypes, but how these interactions...

Adaptive strategies based on shrub leaf-stem anatomy and their environmental interpretations in the eastern Qaidam Basin
BackgroundWater stress seriously affects the survival of plants in natural ecosystems. Plant resistance to water stress relies on adaptive...

Molecular Role of Melatonin in Regulating Abiotic Stress Adaptive Responses in Plants
Melatonin (Mel) is highly conserved and stress regulator molecule in plants and regulates several key physiological mechanisms relating to growth and...

Different drought-adaptive capacity of a native Patagonian tree species (Nothofagus pumilio) resulting from local adaptation
The resistance of different genotypes to abiotic stress may be due to genetic effects and/or to phenotypic plasticity allowing them to acclimate to...
