Global urban environmental change drives adaptation in white clover
Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined
whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white …

Urbanization drives the evolution of parallel clines in plant populations
Urban ecosystems are an increasingly dominant feature of terrestrial landscapes. While
evidence that species can adapt to urban environments is accumulating, the mechanisms …

Genetic trade‐offs underlie divergent life history strategies for local adaptation in white clover
Local adaptation is common in plants, yet characterization of its underlying genetic basis is
rare in herbaceous perennials. Moreover, while many plant species exhibit intraspecific …

Integrating viability and fecundity selection to illuminate the adaptive nature of genetic clines
Genetically based trait variation across environmental gradients can reflect adaptation to
local environments. However, natural populations that appear well-adapted often exhibit …

Beyond cyanogenesis: Temperature gradients drive environmental adaptation in North American white clover (Trifolium repens L.)
Species that repeatedly evolve phenotypic clines across environmental gradients have been
highlighted as ideal systems for characterizing the genomic basis of local environmental …

De novo genome assembly of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) reveals the role of copy number variation in rapid environmental adaptation
Abstract Background White clover (Trifolium repens) is a globally important perennial forage
legume. This species also serves as an eco-evolutionary model system for studying within …

Herbivores and plant defences affect selection on plant reproductive traits more strongly than pollinators
Pollinators and herbivores can both affect the evolutionary diversification of plant
reproductive traits. However, plant defences frequently alter antagonistic and mutualistic …

Cyanogenesis in arthropods: from chemical warfare to nuptial gifts
Chemical defences are key components in insect–plant interactions, as insects continuously
