With ever-growing data availability and computational power at our disposal, we now have
the capacity to use process-explicit models more widely to reveal the ecological and …

Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Global change drivers are known to interact in their effects on biodiversity, but much
research to date ignores this complexity. As a consequence, there are problems in the …

Connectivity is classically considered an emergent property of landscapes encapsulating
individuals' flows across space. However, its operational use requires a precise …

As they have in response to past climatic changes, many species will shift their distributions
in response to modern climate change. However, due to the unprecedented rapidity of …

In classical evolutionary theory, traits evolve because they facilitate organismal survival
and/or reproduction. We discuss a different type of evolutionary mechanism that relies upon …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

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 …

Most evolutionary theory does not deal with populations expanding or contracting in space.
Invasive species, climate change, epidemics, and the breakdown of dispersal barriers …

Rapid climate change has the potential to alter the location of bioclimatic envelopes for a
significant portion of the world's flora. Plant species will respond variously via phenotypic …
