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

The ecological and adaptive significance of plant polyploidization is not well understood and
no clear pattern of association between polyploid frequency and environment has emerged …

The field of plant population ecology has advanced considerably in the last decade since
the first edition was published. In particular there have been substantial and ongoing …

Understanding how spatially variable selection shapes adaptation is an area of long-
standing interest in evolutionary ecology. Recent meta-analyses have quantified the extent …

A positive relationship between seed size and subsequent offspring survival is a key
assumption in ecological theory concerning life‐history strategies. Yet, this relationship is …

Predicting the future of any given species represents an unprecedented challenge in light of
the many environmental and biological factors that affect organismal performance and that …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 433–443 Abstract Much is known about facilitation, but virtually
nothing about the underlying genetic and evolutionary consequences of this important …

Introduced species represent opportunities to observe evolution over contemporary time
scales, and as exotics encounter new environments, adaptive responses can occur …

Reciprocal transplant experiments designed to quantify genetic and environmental effects
on phenotype are powerful tools for the study of local adaptation. For long‐lived species …

Plant–plant interactions may critically modify the impact of climate change on plant
communities. However, the magnitude and even direction of potential future interactions …
