DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1782
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Habitat fragmentation generates molecular genetic divergence among isolated populations but few studies have assessed phenotypic divergence and fitness in populations where the genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation are known. Phenotypic divergence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3078
Abstract: Intraspecific differentiation across a steep environmental gradient depends on the relative influences of evolutionary, organismal, and environmental processes. But steep environmental gradients may be nested within larger-scale, regional conditions that could influence these processes at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-018-9956-1
Abstract: It is well known that habitat boundaries affect ecological dynamics, but their influence on evolutionary dynamics is less well understood. Here, we study the effects of different kinds of boundaries on evolutionary branching in clonal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tplants.2021.03.006
Abstract: Despite long-standing interest in local adaptation of plants to their biotic and abiotic environment, existing theory, and many case studies, little work to date has addressed within-species evolution of concerted strategies and how these might… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-23815-0
Abstract: Urban forest ecosystems face increasing abiotic stress due to climate change and anthropogenic pressure, requiring robust indicators of plant adaptation. Hedera helix L., a widespread liana with shoot dimorphism, plays a key role in temperate… read more here.
