Anthropogenic climate change has already altered the timing of major life-history transitions, such as the initiation of reproduction. Both phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution can underlie rapid phenological shifts in response to climate change, but their relative contributions are poorly understood. Here, we combine a continuous 38 year field survey with quantitative genetic field exp...

In highly urbanized regions, rocky intertidal habitats attract a large number of visitors for recreation, education, and subsistence harvesting. The collecting, trampling, and handling activities of visitors can have detrimental impacts on intertidal flora and fauna, including reduced abundances and biodiversity and alteration of community structure and function. Despite the large human populat...

• M. Monge, Generation of the symmetric field by Newton polynomials in prime characteristic, published in Rocky Mountains Journal (2012). It was proved by Dvornicich-Zannier that the polynomials xa + ya, xb + yb, xc+yc generate the field of symmetric function in x, y over Q, when a,b,c have no common factor. We extend the result in prime characteristic p, under the additional hypothesis that a,...
