Intraspecific trait variation and phenotypic plasticity mediate alpine plant species response to climate change
In a rapidly changing climate, alpine plants may persist by adapting to new conditions.
However, the rate at which the climate is changing might exceed the rate of adaptation …

Global patterns of intraspecific leaf trait responses to elevation
Elevational gradients are often used to quantify how traits of plant species respond to abiotic
and biotic environmental variations. Yet, such analyses are frequently restricted spatially …

Drivers of local extinction risk in alpine plants under warming climate
HA Nomoto, JM Alexander - Ecology Letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The scarcity of local plant extinctions following recent climate change has been explained by
demographic inertia and lags in the displacement of resident species by novel species …

Plasticity leaves a phenotypic signature during local adaptation
Phenotypic responses to a novel or extreme environment are initially plastic, only later to be
followed by genetic change. Whether or not environmentally induced phenotypes are …
