Divergent selection across the landscape can favor the evolution of local adaptation in
populations experiencing contrasting conditions. Local adaptation is widely observed in a …

In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

How ecological niche breadth evolves is central to adaptation and speciation and has been
a topic of perennial interest. Niche breadth evolution research has occurred within …

evolution 670 II. Oaks: an important model clade 671 III. Insights from the history of the …

As climate change progresses, we are observing widespread changes in phenotypes in
many plant populations. Whether these phenotypic changes are directly caused by climate …

Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges …

Despite the numerous studies which have been conducted during the past decade on
species ranges and their relationship to the environment, our understanding of how …

This paper reviews the concepts of ecosystem resilience, resistance, and stability in forests
and their relationship to biodiversity, with particular reference to climate change. The report …

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 long history of reciprocal transplant studies testing the hypothesis of local adaptation
has shown that populations are often adapted to their local environments. Yet many studies …
