How do organisms deal with temporal changes in their environment when they are predictable? …When they are unpredictable? When the entire planet is changing? Or think about this: What to make of population growth as a fitness measure when fitness is supposed to be improving over time as a result of natural selection, but ancient organisms surely did not all have sluggish growth rates? Some answers are in papers in this section.
