Successful restoration of habitats relies on the sourcing of seed appropriate to the restoration environment. The use of non-adapted genotypes can compromise the long-term success of restoration programmes if fitness of...

Arabidopsis halleri: a model system for studying population differentiation and local adaptation
Whilst studies on Arabidopsis thaliana have generally been highly molecular and/or genetic in nature, most studies using A. halleri have addressed adaptation and variation in adaptive traits in the species’ natural...
Functional acclimation across microgeographic scales in Dodonaea viscosa
Intraspecific plant functional trait variation provides mechanistic insight into persistence and can infer population adaptive capacity. However, most studies explore intraspecific trait variation in systems where...
Colchicine application and reproductive fitness in Fabaceae
Unravelling the direct consequences of polyploidization to reveal its evolutionary significance and effects on reproductive fitness, Münzbergová studies diploid offspring of synthetic tetraploid mothers in Vicia cracca...

Epigenetics is important – but did you know it was this important on a global, planet-shaping scale?
A recent paper in Annals of Botany looks at how local environmental factors shape vast tracts of rainforest.
