Phenotypic plasticity (genotype× environment interaction) is an especially important means
for sessile organisms to cope with environmental variation. While kelps, the globally most …

Phenotypic plasticity, within and across generations (transgenerational plasticity), allows
organisms and their progeny to adapt to the environment without modification of the …

Thermal characteristics of kelp species have been studied in many ways, but potentially
persistent effects of temperature across generations are yet poorly understood. In this …

Ecological theory produces opposing predictions about whether differences in the timing of
life-history transitions, or “phenology,” promote or limit coexistence. Phenological separation …

Phenotypic plasticity is essential for organisms to adapt to local ecological conditions. It is
expected that mutualistic interactions, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis …

Conditions during a parent's lifetime can induce phenotypic changes in offspring, providing
a potentially important source of variation in natural populations. Yet, to date, biotic factors …

For plants, the risk of stress‐induced reproductive failure can be spread temporally and
spatially by increasing the variation in stress tolerance and dispersibility, respectively. Yet …

Aim Invasive plants may evolve a suite of distinctive traits during spread in the new range.
Among these traits, dispersal ability is an important trait determining the invasion speed of …

As climate change threatens marine ecosystems, sessile species such as kelps can be
particularly impacted by rapidly changing environmental conditions. In this context …

Maternal environmental effects create lagged population responses to past environments.
Although they are ubiquitous and vary in expression across taxa, it remains unclear if and …
