In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

Better understanding of the mechanistic basis of plant plasticity will enhance efforts to breed
crops resilient to predicted climate change. However, complexity in plasticity's …

Local adaptation is a fundamental phenomenon in evolutionary biology, with relevance to
formation of ecotypes, and ultimately new species, and application to restoration and …

Mountain ecosystems support a significant one‐third of all terrestrial biodiversity, but our
understanding of the spatiotemporal maintenance of this high biodiversity remains poor, or …

Abstract Background and Aims The genus Allium L., one of the largest monocotyledonous
genera and one that includes many economically important crops with nutritional and …

The capacity of marine organisms to adapt and/or acclimate to climate change might differ
among distinct populations, depending on their local environmental history and phenotypic …

Understanding how plant individuals perform in non‐local sites is key in the context of
contemporary range shifts along elevation. Transplant experiments conducted in mountain …

Alpine plants occurring at high elevation are vulnerable to ongoing climate change, yet
relatively little is known about the potential for high‐elevation species to adapt to changing …

Major topographic features facilitate intraspecific divergence through geographic isolation.
This process may be enhanced by environmental isolation along climatic gradients, but also …

Background Individual organisms may exhibit phenotypic plasticity when they acclimate to
different conditions. Such plastic responses may facilitate or constrain the adaptation of their …
