Sparse evidence for selection on phenotypic plasticity in response to temperature
Phenotypic plasticity is frequently assumed to be an adaptive mechanism by which
organisms cope with rapid changes in their environment, such as shifts in temperature …

Assessing the causes and scales of the leaf economics spectrum using venation networks in Populus tremuloides
The leaf economics spectrum (LES) describes global interspecific correlations between leaf
traits. Despite recent theoretical advances, the biological scale at which LES correlations …

Plasticity in reproduction and growth among 52 range‐wide populations of a Mediterranean conifer: adaptive responses to environmental stress
A plastic response towards enhanced reproduction is expected in stressful environments,
but it is assumed to trade off against vegetative growth and efficiency in the use of available …

Integrating gradient with scale in ecological and evolutionary studies
Gradient and scale are two key concepts in ecology and evolution that are closely related
but inherently distinct. While scale commonly refers to the dimensional space of a specific …

Testing models for the leaf economics spectrum with leaf and whole-plant traits in Arabidopsis thaliana
The leaf economics spectrum (LES) describes strong relationships between multiple
functional leaf traits that determine resource fluxes in vascular plants. Five models have …
