Clare and Shaili’s post a paper on environmental memory

Organisms in nature are inevitably subject to environmental fluctuations. Clare and Shaili show in the biorxiv preprint that fitness of lineage in a fluctuating environment is not, as might be sensibly assumed, the time-average of its fitness over the sequence of static conditions it encounters. An important phenomenon that changes the way we think about evolution in fluctuating environments. Update: The paper was accepted at Nature Ecology and Evolution
