Abstract:Climate change is leading to biodiversity decline at an unprecedented pace. Evolutionary responses may be crucial for organisms ability to cope with prolonged effects of climate change. It is thus fundamental to understand the dynamics of adaptation to warming environments in order to predict and mitigate the impacts of climate change on biodiversity. In particular, addressing how reproductive success evolves in deteriorating environments is extremely relevant, as this trait is more likely constrained at lower… Show more
