Rapid ecological diversification of the Eurasian goldenrod complex
The Solidago virgaurea complex shows remarkable morphological and ecological diversity in Japan. Phylogeographic analysis suggested the multiple expansions from the Eurasian continent into the archipelago via land...

Does greater specific-leaf-area plasticity help plants to maintain a high performance when shaded?
Both phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation may allow widely distributed plant species to either acclimate or adapt to environmental heterogeneity. Given the typically low genetic variation of clonal plants across...

Plants adapt to accommodate a long proboscis in South Africa.
Our Grant-Stebbins week continues. Today it’s a question of looking at the geographical context of floral adaptations. Why might you find a plant here and not there? Is it the pollinators that cause it? Matching...
