Key message Leaf symmetry and leaf size are explained by genetic variation between and
within lineages and to a lesser extent by climatic factors, while leaf asymmetry can only be …

To catalog and promote the conservation and use of crop wild relatives, comprehensive
phenotypic and genotypic information must be available. Plant genoty** has the power to …

Leaf shape exhibits tremendous diversity in angiosperms. It has long been argued that leaf
shape can affect major physiological and ecological properties of plants and thus is likely to …

Premise Studies into the evolution and development of leaf shape have connected variation
in plant form, function, and fitness. For species with consistent leaf margin features, patterns …

Variability and relationship between phenological traits and leaf, acorn, and tree size
morphometric traits were examined in early and late bud-flushing groups of the pedunculate …

Studies into the evolution and development of leaf shape have connected variation in plant
form, function, and fitness. For species with consistent leaf margin features, patterns in leaf …

Oak leaf morphology is highly variable. Leaf shape in oaks has been shown to covary with
climate, and leaf dissection is negatively correlated with hydraulic resistance. Such patterns …

Sympatric species are often locally adapted to distinct microhabitats. However, temporal
variation may cause local maladaptation and species boundary breakdown, especially …

Background and aims–Understanding whether variation in plant attributes is primarily driven
by selection or historical contingencies is a main goal in evolutionary biology. We …
