Evidence of current impact of climate change on life: a walk from genes to the biosphere
We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Environmental change and the option value of genetic diversity
AS Jump, R Marchant, J Peñuelas - Trends in plant science, 2009 - cell.com
Rapid anthropogenic environmental change is altering selection pressures on natural plant
populations. However, it is difficult to predict easily the novel selection pressures to which …

The genetic differentiation at quantitative trait loci under local adaptation
Most adaptive traits are controlled by large number of genes that may all together be the
targets of selection. Adaptation may thus involve multiple but not necessarily substantial …
