Animals are constantly exposed to environmental challenges. These comes from conspecifics, for example a change in social hierarchy through the death or birth of dominant individuals, or from external forces, for example a changing climate or pesticide exposure. Theory is insufficient. We will harness recently available technologies to provide detailed novel insight on the molecular mechanisms and constraints underpinning responses to environmental changes. Our results will have major implications on understanding short- and long-term responses to environmental changes, including for the evolution of new complex phenotypes.

动物不断地暴露在环境挑战中。它们来自共同的特性，例如，通过优势个体的死亡或出生而改变社会等级，或者来自外部力量，例如气候变化或农药暴露。理论是不够的。我们将利用最近可用的技术，对支撑对环境变化的反应的分子机制和限制提供详细的新见解。我们的结果将对理解对环境变化的短期和长期反应，包括对新的复杂表型的进化具有重大意义。
