The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country.

This was a fun review to work on with James deMayo. We highlight genome-enabled studies from the last ~20 years that provide lab and field perspectives on (often rapid) thermal adaptation. Thanks to JEB for fantastic editorial support!
Evolutionary genetics studies are often used to predict how species may adapt to climate change. In their recent Review, deMayo & Ragland discuss why these studies are only somewhat useful for predicting how invertebrates will respond to climate change
