Phenotypic plasticity enables rapid responses to environmental change, and could facilitate
range shifts in response to climate change. What drives the evolution of plasticity at range …

Mediterranean ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots located between temperate mesic
climates and semi‐deserts and deserts. Mediterranean climates are characterized by a …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Meaningful comparison of variation in quantitative trait requires controlling for both the
dimension of the varying entity and the dimension of the factor generating variation …

Common garden experiments are indoor or outdoor plantings of species or populations
collected from multiple distinct geographic locations, grown together under shared …

According to the stress gradient hypothesis (SGH), ecological interactions between
organisms shift positively as environmental stress increases. In the case of associational …

Understanding constraints to phenotypic plasticity is key given its role on the response of
organisms to environmental change. It has been suggested that phenotypic integration, the …

Contrasts of differences within plant species and ecotypes are often best examined in
ecology, evolution and genetics through provenance and biogeographical comparisons …

Forests provide important ecosystem services and renewable materials. Yet, under a future
climate, optimal conditions will likely shift outside the current range for some tree species …

Plant functional strategies change considerably as plants develop, driven by intraindividual
variability in anatomical, morphological, physiological and architectural traits …
