Understanding processes that limit species' ranges has been a core issue in ecology and
evolutionary biology for many decades, and has become increasingly important given the …

A key issue in predicting how ecosystems will respond to environmental change is
understanding why populations and communities are able to live and reproduce in some …

Due to global change, many species are shifting their distribution and are thereby
confronted with novel thermal conditions at the moving range edges. Especially during the …

Anthropogenic climate change is projected to become a major driver of biodiversity loss,
destabilizing the ecosystems on which human society depends. As the planet rapidly warms …

Gene flow can have rapid effects on adaptation and is an important evolutionary tool
available when undertaking biological conservation and restoration. This tool is underused …

Models of local adaptation to spatially varying selection predict that maximum rates of
evolution are determined by the interaction between increased adaptive potential owing to …

It has been argued that adaptive phenotypic plasticity may facilitate range expansions over
spatially and temporally variable environments. However, plasticity may induce fitness costs …

Understanding how functional traits affect plant performance and fitness is a key step in
unravelling the role of natural selection in shaping the evolutionary trajectory of populations …

Abiotic and biotic factors interact to influence phenotypic evolution; however, identifying the
causal agents of selection that drive the evolution and expression of traits remains …

Plant and soil C: N: P stoichiometry reflects the element content and energy flow, which are
important for biogeochemical cycling in ecosystems. Although plantation age has been …
