Genetic variation in early fitness traits across European populations of silver birch
How will silver birch populations across Europe be affected by climate change?
Flood tolerance in two tree species that inhabit both the Amazonian floodplain and the dry Cerrado savanna of Brazil
Comparing plants of the same species thriving in flooded and non-flooded ecosystems can help to clarify the interplay between natural selection, plant plasticity and stress adaptation. Genipa americana L...
Conserved thermal performance curves across the geographic range of a gametophytic fern
Species-level responses to environmental change depend on the collective responses of their constituent populations and the degree to which these populations are specialized to local conditions. Thermal tolerance limits...
An orchid matches its scent emission rhythm to the local pollinators
Some flowers only smell at day and some only at night, but how did they evolve these different rhythms? In our study, we investigate if populations of the same orchid species that are more pollinated either at day or at...

Genetic diversity and floral width variation in introduced and native populations of a long-lived woody perennial
Populations of introduced species in their new environments are expected to differ from native populations, due to processes such as genetic drift, founder effects, and local adaptation, which can often result in rapid...

Biogeography of Prunus africana in Afromontane forests
Afromontane forest ecosystems share a high similarity of plant and animal biodiversity, although they occur mainly on isolated mountain massifs throughout the African continent. Kadu et al. use Prunus africana, one of...
