Abstract: Mountain regions are important places for biodiversity, where organisms could persist throughout prolonged periods and accumulate genetic divergence as well as promote speciation. Roles of mountains for biodiversity have been exclusively discussed in regions that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13727
Abstract: The scarcity of local plant extinctions following recent climate change has been explained by demographic inertia and lags in the displacement of resident species by novel species, generating an 'extinction debt'. We established a transplant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jipb.13485
Abstract: Evolutionary convergence is one of the most striking examples of adaptation driven by natural selection. However, genomic evidence for convergent adaptation to extreme environments remains scarce. Herein, we assembled reference genomes of two alpine plants,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants14132023
Abstract: In alpine ecosystems, where low temperatures predominate, prostrate growth forms play a crucial role in thermal resistance by enabling thermal decoupling from ambient conditions, thereby creating a warmer microclimate. However, this strategy may be maladaptive… read more here.
