Fifty years have passed since the first descriptions of the “floral oil syndrome” by Stefan
Vogel. Over those past decades, substantial knowledge was obtained mainly on the …

Plant functional strategies are usually accomplished through the simultaneous expression of
different traits, and hence their correlations should be promoted by natural selection. The …

Intraspecific genetic diversity (IGD), the fundamental dimension of biodiversity, is scarcely
considered in the context of anthropogenic impact at regional and global scales. Here …

Abstract The Balkan Peninsula represents one of the three southern European glacial
refugia where biodiversity persisted throughout the climatically unstable Quaternary. This …

Covariation among traits can modify the evolutionary trajectory of complex structures. This
process is thought to operate at a microevolutionary scale, but its long‐term effects remain …

Organism shape changes predictably during ontogeny, resulting in specific patterns of
ontogenetic allometry. In several plant and animal lineages, among‐species variation in the …

Quaternary climatic changes impacted species' demography and distribution worldwide.
Although response to climate change could have been modulated by mutualistic interactions …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Studies on phenotypic plasticity and plasticity of integration have
uncovered functionally linked modules of aboveground traits and seedlings of Arabidopsis …

The lowlands of mid-latitude South America comprise complex temperate ecoregions
characterized by a unique biodiversity. However, the processes responsible for shaping its …

Calceolaria polyrhiza is a perennial herb distributed in southern South America. The species
is highly polymorphic and includes four described morphotypes that were previously …
