Plant–herbivore interactions have evolved in response to coevolutionary dynamics, along
with selection driven by abiotic conditions. We examine how abiotic factors influence trait …

Climate change poses critical challenges for population persistence in natural communities,
for agriculture and environmental sustainability, and for food security. In this review, we …

Oaks are an important part of our natural and cultural heritage. Not only are they ubiquitous
in our most common landscapes but they have also supplied human societies with …

This article presents, for the first time, an overview of all known tree species by scientific
name and country level distribution, and describes an online database—GlobalTreeSearch …

Deciphering the global distribution of polyploid plants is fundamental for understanding
plant evolution and ecology. Many factors have been hypothesized to affect the uneven …

Aims The aim of this article is 3-fold. First, we present an updated version of a published
megaphylogeny of vascular plants that can be used in studies of plant ecology and …

Aim To understand how functional traits and evolutionary history shape the geographic
distribution of plant life on Earth, we need to integrate high‐quality and global‐scale …

Plant communities have undergone dramatic changes in recent centuries, although not all
such changes fit with the dominant biodiversity-crisis narrative used to describe them. At the …

Over the past several years, phylogenetic comparative studies have increasingly
approached trait evolution in a multivariate context, with a number of taxa that continues to …

Understanding the global variation of plant strategies is essential for unravelling eco-
evolutionary processes and ecosystem functions. Variation in ten fundamental aboveground …
