Using the resurrection approach to understand contemporary evolution in changing environments
The resurrection approach of reviving ancestors from stored propagules and comparing
them with descendants under common conditions has emerged as a powerful method of …

Explaining the apparent paradox of persistent selection for early flowering
Decades of observation in natural plant populations have revealed pervasive phenotypic
selection for early flowering onset. This consistent pattern seems at odds with life‐history …

Mating and fitness consequences of variation in male allocation in a wind-pollinated plant
AA Aljiboury, J Friedman - Evolution, 2022 - academic.oup.com
In hermaphrodites, the allocation of resources to each sex function can influence fitness
through mating success. A prediction that arises from sex allocation theory is that in wind …

Sex-specific selection patterns in a dioecious insect-pollinated plant
Competition for mate acquisition is the hallmark of any sexual organism. In insect-pollinated
plants, competition to attract pollinators is expected to result in pollinator-mediated selection …

Climate‐driven evolutionary change in reproductive and early‐acting life‐history traits in the perennial grass Festuca ovina
Reproductive and early‐acting life‐history traits are likely to be particularly important
determinants of plant fitness under a changing climate. There have, however, been few …
