Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change–evidence from tree populations
Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

Long‐distance gene flow and adaptation of forest trees to rapid climate change
Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 378–392 Abstract Forest trees are the dominant species in many
parts of the world and predicting how they might respond to climate change is a vital global …

Modeling the ecology and evolution of biodiversity: Biogeographical cradles, museums, and graves
INTRODUCTION Individual processes that shape geographical patterns of biodiversity are
increasingly understood, but their complex interactions on broad spatial and temporal scales …

What do we really know about adaptation at range edges?
Recent theory and empirical evidence have provided new insights regarding how
evolutionary forces interact to shape adaptation at stable and transient range margins …

Evolutionary rescue: an emerging focus at the intersection between ecology and evolution
There is concern that the rate of environmental change is now exceeding the capacity of
many populations to adapt. Mitigation of biodiversity loss requires science that integrates …

Managing consequences of climate‐driven species redistribution requires integration of ecology, conservation and social science
Climate change is driving a pervasive global redistribution of the planet's species. Species
redistribution poses new questions for the study of ecosystems, conservation science and …

A dynamic eco-evolutionary model predicts slow response of alpine plants to climate warming
Withstanding extinction while facing rapid climate change depends on a species' ability to
track its ecological niche or to evolve a new one. Current methods that predict climate-driven …

Rapid climate change and the rate of adaptation: insight from experimental quantitative genetics
RG Shaw, JR Etterson - New Phytologist, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Evolution proceeds unceasingly in all biological populations. It is clear that climate‐driven
evolution has molded plants in deep time and within extant populations. However, it is less …
