| Abstract | Evolution shapes how organisms respond to stress, influencing challenges that directly affect society, including the rise of drug-resistant pathogens, the stability of agricultural systems, and the resilience of ecosystems under environmental change. However, most studies of evolution focus on extreme conditions, overlooking the subtle environmental differences that organisms routinely experience in nature. This limits our ability to predict how evolution unfolds in realistic settings. This proj |
