Common garden experiments in the genomic era: new perspectives and opportunities
The study of local adaptation is rendered difficult by many evolutionary confounding
phenomena (for example, genetic drift and demographic history). When complex traits are …

Evolutionary ecology of resprouting and seeding in fire‐prone ecosystems
JG Pausas, JE Keeley - New Phytologist, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
There are two broad mechanisms by which plant populations persist under recurrent
disturbances: resprouting from surviving tissues, and seedling recruitment. Species can …

Evolutionary fire ecology: lessons learned from pines
JG Pausas - Trends in Plant Science, 2015 - cell.com
Macroevolutionary studies of the genus Pinus provide the oldest current evidence of fire as
an evolutionary pressure on plants and date back to ca. 125 million years ago (Ma) …

Fire as a selective agent for both serotiny and nonserotiny over space and time
Serotiny is the prolonged storage of seeds in closed cones or fruits held within the crown of
woody plants. It is widespread throughout fireprone vegetation with a predominantly winter …

Plant intraspecific variation modulates nutrient cycling through its below ground rhizospheric microbiome
Plant genetic variation, through its phenotypic display, can determine the composition of
below ground microbial communities. Variation within a species is increasingly …

Uncovering the contribution of epigenetics to plant phenotypic variation in Mediterranean ecosystems
Epigenetic signals can affect plant phenotype and fitness and be stably inherited across
multiple generations. Epigenetic regulation plays a key role in the mechanisms of plant …

Provenance and seed mass determine seed tolerance to high temperatures associated to forest fires in Pinus pinaster
Key message We show that Pinus pinaster provenance affects both seed germination and
seedling recruitment after fire. This information is crucial for managers to select the best …
