Environmental stress and the physiological architecture of inter-individual variation — NSF Award to Washington State University (

Evolution and persistence of animal populations depend in part on the presence of variation within those populations in how individuals cope with environmental challenges, but that variation is not constant over time. This project will explore when and how changes in the environment - specifically, changes in body temp

AbstractEvolution and persistence of animal populations depend in part on the presence of variation within those populations in how individuals cope with environmental challenges, but that variation is not constant over time. This project will explore when and how changes in the environment - specifically, changes in body temperature - can alter physiological functional diversity among individuals living in proximity to one another. The research team will combine experiments on intertidal invertebrates
