Many species use extended phenotypes, such as purpose‐built nests, to increase their reproductive success. These traits have to be adjusted to local environmental conditions to maximize fitness. An important question is whether species are able to adjust their extended phenotypes to human‐induced rapid environmental changes. We investigated whether populations of threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus,...
Purpose-built nests for rearing offspring have important fitness consequences. Nests not only provide a protective environment for developing young but also in some species can serve as important signalling devices that reveal crucial information about the quality of the builder. Nesting behaviour and nest structure are often adjusted to suit local environmental conditions. An important question is...
The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale perturbations and maintain viable populations. The response can also give additional time for genetic changes to arise and, hence, facilitate adaptation to new conditions. On the other hand, maladaptive responses, which reduce individual...
