Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

Despite the numerous studies which have been conducted during the past decade on
species ranges and their relationship to the environment, our understanding of how …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 378–392 Abstract Forest trees are the dominant species in many
parts of the world and predicting how they might respond to climate change is a vital global …

Today's scientists are facing the enormous challenge of predicting how climate change will
affect species distributions and species assemblages. To do so, ecologists are widely using …

There is concern that the rate of environmental change is now exceeding the capacity of
many populations to adapt. Mitigation of biodiversity loss requires science that integrates …

The neutral theory of molecular evolution predicts that the amount of neutral polymorphisms
within a species will increase proportionally with the census population size (Nc). However …

Evolution proceeds unceasingly in all biological populations. It is clear that climate‐driven
evolution has molded plants in deep time and within extant populations. However, it is less …

Theoretical models pertaining to feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes
are prevalent in multiple biological fields. An integrative overview is currently lacking, due to …
