Climate change is causing rapid shifts in the abiotic and biotic environmental conditions
experienced by plant populations, but we lack generalizable frameworks for predicting the …

Human activities have shaped large-scale distributions of many species, driving both range
contractions and expansions. Species differ naturally in range size, with small-range species …

As Earth's climate has varied strongly through geological time, studying the impacts of past
climate change on biodiversity helps to understand the risks from future climate change …

Aim How environmental factors drive plant distribution across the globe is one of the most
fundamental questions in ecology. Nevertheless, the relative importance of different …

A full understanding of the origin and maintenance of β‐diversity patterns in a region
requires exploring the relationships of both taxonomic and phylogenetic β‐diversity (TBD …

The contrasting hydraulic traits observed among different plant life forms are shaped by
entangled environmental and evolutionary processes. However, we lack understanding of …

The preservation of the genetic resources of crop wild relatives (CWRs) is crucial for food
production systems and is considered a vital measure for global agricultural health and food …

Fruit type, an important reproductive trait, is closely related to reproduction strategy,
community dynamics and biotic interactions. However, limited research has explored the …

Aim The timing of reproduction is a major determinant of the geographical distribution of
plant species and resulting patterns of community assembly, yet few studies have assessed …

The influence of paleoclimate in sha** current biodiversity pattern is widely
acknowledged. However, it remains unclear how the upper paleo-range limit of trees, which …
