Local adaptation is a fundamental phenomenon in evolutionary biology, with relevance to
formation of ecotypes, and ultimately new species, and application to restoration and …

One of the main questions in ecosystem restoration is where to obtain the seeds to re-
establish plant communities. While the most commonly advocated approach is to use seeds …

Alpine areas make excellent research sites for investigating questions of plant ecology due
to harsh climatic filtering, compressed ecological/environmental gradients, limited species …

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 …

Understanding species' abilities to cope with changing climate is a key prerequisite for
predicting the future fates of species and ecosystems. Despite considerable research on …

Elevation gradients are frequently used as space-for-time substitutions to infer species' trait
responses to climate change. However, studies rarely investigate whether trait responses to …

As climate changes at unprecedented rates, understanding population responses is a major
challenge. Resurrection studies can provide crucial insights into the contemporary evolution …

This study aims to clarify the community‐wide mating systems and pollination success of
alpine plants. Selfing abilities and fruit‐set success of entomophilous alpine plants were …

Understanding how plant individuals perform in non‐local sites is key in the context of
contemporary range shifts along elevation. Transplant experiments conducted in mountain …

Abstract Background and Aims The evolution of ecological specialization is favoured under
divergent selection imposed by increased environmental heterogeneity, although …
