Climate change is altering the availability of resources and the conditions that are crucial to
plant performance. One way plants will respond to these changes is through …

Studies of local adaptation provide important insights into the power of natural selection
relative to gene flow and other evolutionary forces. They are a paradigm for testing …

Over the past decade, advances in both molecular developmental biology and evolutionary
ecology have made possible a new understanding of organisms as dynamic systems …

The long history of reciprocal transplant studies testing the hypothesis of local adaptation
has shown that populations are often adapted to their local environments. Yet many studies …

The study of phenotypic plasticity has progressed significantly over the past few decades.
We have moved from variation for plasticity being considered as a nuisance in evolutionary …

There is a need to reappraise the effects of UV‐B radiation on plant morphology in light of
improved mechanistic understanding of UV‐B effects, particularly elucidation of the UV …

To quantify adaptive differentiation in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, we conducted
reciprocal transplant experiments for five years between two European populations, one …

Phenotypic integration refers to the study of complex patterns of covariation among
functionally related traits in a given organism. It has been investigated throughout the 20th …

Genomic studies of natural variation in model organisms provide a bridge between
molecular analyses of gene function and evolutionary investigations of adaptation and …

The science of genetics is undergoing a paradigm shift. Recent discoveries, including the
activity of retrotransposons, the extent of copy number variations, somatic and chromosomal …
