Divergent selection across the landscape can favor the evolution of local adaptation in
populations experiencing contrasting conditions. Local adaptation is widely observed in a …

Decades of research have uncovered how plants respond to two environmental variables
that change across latitudes and over seasons: photoperiod and temperature. However, a …

Climate change has induced pronounced shifts in the reproductive phenology of plants, yet
we know little about which environmental factors contribute to interspecific variation in …

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 …

Comparisons of the strength and form of phenotypic selection among groups provide a
powerful approach for testing adaptive hypotheses. A central and largely unaddressed issue …

Understanding which environmental variables and traits underlie adaptation to harsh
environments is difficult because many traits evolve simultaneously as populations or …

Understanding the stability of the G matrix in natural populations is fundamental for
predicting evolutionary trajectories; yet, the extent of its spatial variation and how this …

Premise Global change has changed resource availability to plants, which could shift the
adaptive landscape. We hypothesize that novel water and nutrient availability combinations …

Variation in selection among populations and years has important implications for
evolutionary trajectories of populations. Yet, the agents of selection causing this variation …

Leaves are thought to be the primary carbon source for reproduction in plants, so a positive
relationship between vegetative size and reproductive output is expected, establishing a …
