Adaptive radiation is an evolutionary process that has been promulgated in some clades as
an explanation for species richness and disparity in morphological forms across ecological …

Species exposed to anthropogenic climate change can acclimate, adapt, move, or be
extirpated. It is often assumed that movement will be the dominant response, with …

Plant soil specialists contribute greatly to global diversity; however, the ecoevolutionary
forces responsible for generating this diversity are poorly understood. We integrate …

Gypsum covers a vast area of the Iberian Peninsula, making Spain a leader in its production.
Gypsum is a fundamental raw material for modern societies. However, gypsum quarries …

Ecological restoration of degraded metal-rich habitats and bare metal-rich soils created by
mining activities has nowadays become a major environmental issue to reduce mining …

Many have noted limited seed dispersal of plants in diverse environments and attempted
evolutionary explanations for it. Although philopatric (“love of fatherland”) is used by …

Gypsum soils (calcium sulfate) occur throughout arid regions of the world. These soils
contain a large number of endemic plants. Limited information is available about the …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Gypsum endemism in plants (gypsophily) is common on gypsum
outcrops worldwide, but little is known about the functional ecology of Chihuahuan Desert …

Climate change is promoting global declines in plant diversity, which are expected to be
more critical in islands or island‐like ecosystems due to environmental constraints and …

Understanding dispersal potential, or the probability a species will move a given distance,
under different environmental conditions is essential to predicting species' ability to move …
