Invasions and extinctions through the looking glass of evolutionary ecology
Invasive and endangered species reflect opposite ends of a spectrum of ecological success,
yet they experience many similar eco-evolutionary challenges including demographic …

Timing is everything: does early and late germination favor invasions by herbaceous alien plants?
Aims Plant invasions represent a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms underlying
community assembly rules and species distribution patterns. While a superior competitive …

Intraspecific trait variation and phenotypic plasticity mediate alpine plant species response to climate change
In a rapidly changing climate, alpine plants may persist by adapting to new conditions.
However, the rate at which the climate is changing might exceed the rate of adaptation …

[PDF][PDF] Buying time: Plasticity and population persistence
As the environment changes, populations can respond by adapting via evolutionary change.
If the rate or magnitude of environmental change is too great for evolution to keep pace, then …

Trait–micro‐environment relationships of forest herb communities across Europe
Aim The microclimate and light conditions on the forest floor are strongly modified by tree
canopies. Therefore, we need to better consider the micro‐environment when quantifying …

Patterns of intraspecific trait variation along an aridity gradient suggest both drought escape and drought tolerance strategies in an invasive herb
Abstract Background and Aims In water-limited landscapes, some plants build structures that
enable them to survive with minimal water (drought resistance). Instead of making structures …
