Plant trait variability, emerging from eco-evolutionary dynamics that range from alleles to macroecological scales, is one of the most elusive, but possibly most consequential, aspects …

Interannual variability in climatic conditions should be taken into account in climate change studies in semi‐arid ecosystems. It may determine differentiation in phenotypic plasticity …
Mediterranean ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots located between temperate mesic climates and semi‐deserts and deserts. Mediterranean climates are characterized by a …

Intraspecific trait variation has been singled out as an important mechanism by which individuals can cope with environmental variations and avoid local extinctions. Here we …
Species respond to global climatic changes in a local context. Understanding this process, including its speed and intensity, is paramount due to the pace at which such changes are …
Fagaceae can be found in tropical and temperate regions and contain species of major ecological and economic importance. In times of global climate change, tree populations …
Determining the sources and role of intra-specific genetic variation is a classical focus of evolutionary biology (Mitchell-Olds et al. 2007). Ever since the beginning of population …
Spring shoot phenology is an adaptive trait highly responsive to climatic conditions that influences plant growth and development, as well as plant–herbivore interactions. We …
Climate is one of the main abiotic factors influencing natural selection patterns. Year-to-year variation in climate is postulated to elicit temporal shifts in the direction and form of selection …
