Context dependence is widely invoked to explain disparate results in ecology. It arises when
the magnitude or sign of a relationship varies due to the conditions under which it is …

Divergent selection across the landscape can favor the evolution of local adaptation in
populations experiencing contrasting conditions. Local adaptation is widely observed in a …

Speciation is driven by the evolution of reproductive isolating barriers that reduce, and
ultimately prevent, substantial gene flow between lineages. Despite its central role in …

Adaptation to local conditions can increase species' geographic distributions and rates of
diversification, but which components of the environment commonly drive local adaptation …

Divergent evolution leads to variation among populations and thus promotes diversification.
In plants, adaptation to different soils, pollinator guilds, and herbivores is thought to be a key …

The selection of plant provenance for ecological restoration is an intensively debated topic.
Throughout this debate, arguments mostly focus on plant performance, but little attention is …

Interspecific coevolutionary interactions can result in rapid biotic adaptation, but most
studies have focused only on species pairs. Here, we (co) evolved five microbial species in …

Abstract Purpose of Review Climate change is modifying the dynamics of forests and
threatens the supply of ecosystem services from managed forests. In response, managers …

Interactions between plants and soil fungi and bacteria are ubiquitous and have large effects
on individual plant fitness. However, the degree to which spatial variation in soil microbial …

The genomics era has revolutionized studies of adaptive evolution by monitoring large
numbers of loci throughout the genomes of many individuals. Ideally, the investigation of …
