A global meta‐analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities
Recent studies have shown that accounting for intraspecific trait variation (ITV) may better
address major questions in community ecology. However, a general picture of the relative …

Heritability in the genomics era—concepts and misconceptions
Heritability allows a comparison of the relative importance of genes and environment to the
variation of traits within and across populations. The concept of heritability and its definition …

Host genotype and age shape the leaf and root microbiomes of a wild perennial plant
Bacteria living on and in leaves and roots influence many aspects of plant health, so the
extent of a plant's genetic control over its microbiota is of great interest to crop breeders and …

Adaptive versus non‐adaptive phenotypic plasticity and the potential for contemporary adaptation in new environments
Summary 1 The role of phenotypic plasticity in evolution has historically been a contentious
issue because of debate over whether plasticity shields genotypes from selection or …

Climate change, adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity: the problem and the evidence
Many studies have recorded phenotypic changes in natural populations and attributed them
to climate change. However, controversy and uncertainty has arisen around three levels of …

Genetic variation across species' geographical ranges: the central–marginal hypothesis and beyond
There is growing interest in quantifying genetic population structure across the geographical
ranges of species to understand why species might exhibit stable range limits and to assess …

The evolutionary and ecological role of heat shock proteins
Most heat shock proteins (Hsp) function as molecular chaperones that help organisms to
cope with stress of both an internal and external nature. Here, we review the recent …

Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses
P Gienapp, C Teplitsky, JS Alho, JA Mills… - Molecular …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Rapid climate change is likely to impose strong selection pressures on traits important for
fitness, and therefore, microevolution in response to climate‐mediated selection is …
