Mix and match: regional admixture provenancing strikes a balance among different seed-sourcing strategies for ecological restoration
One of the main questions in ecosystem restoration is where to obtain the seeds to re-
establish plant communities. While the most commonly advocated approach is to use seeds …

Identifying targets and agents of selection: innovative methods to evaluate the processes that contribute to local adaptation
Extensive empirical work has demonstrated local adaptation to discrete environments, yet
few studies have elucidated the genetic and environment mechanisms that generate it …

The geographic mosaic of coevolution in mutualistic networks
Ecological interactions shape adaptations through coevolution not only between pairs of
species but also through entire multispecies assemblages. Local coevolution can then be …

Adaptive divergence under gene flow along an environmental gradient in two coexisting stickleback species
There is a general and solid theoretical framework to explain how the interplay between
natural selection and gene flow affects local adaptation. Yet, to what extent coexisting …

Herbivory selects for tolerance and constitutive defence across stages of community succession
Plants defend themselves from herbivory by either reducing damage (resistance) or
minimizing its negative fitness effects with compensatory growth (tolerance). Herbivore …
