Although often not collected specifically for the purposes of conservation, herbarium
specimens offer sufficient information to reconstruct parameters that are needed to …

Herbarium specimens have long been a cornerstone of taxonomic research but are only
recently being recognized for their potential as a source of spatially and temporally …

Selection driven by biotic interactions can generate variation in floral traits. Abiotic selection,
however, also contributes to floral diversity, especially with respect to patterns of …

Aim Patterns of individual variation are key to testing hypotheses about the mechanisms
underlying biogeographic patterns. If species distributions are determined by environmental …

Given that flower size and pigmentation can mediate plant–pollinator interactions, many
studies have focused on pollinator-driven selection on these floral traits. However, abiotic …

Although rarely experimentally tested, biotic interactions have long been hypothesised to
limit low‐elevation range boundaries of species. We tested the effects of herbivory on three …

Funding for rare plant conservation is limited. In addition, many aspects of the biology and
ecology of rare plants are unknown. Therefore, low-cost data generation approaches to fill …

The evolution of seed size may be influenced by intrinsic attributes of populations, such as
mating system and extrinsic factors, such as climate. Several hypotheses propose that the …

In an age of rapid global change, it is imperative that we continue to improve our
understanding of factors that govern genetic differentiation in plants to inform biologically …

Herbarium records provide a broad spatial and temporal range with which to investigate
plant responses to environmental change. Research on plant phenology and its sensitivity to …
