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: 10.1007/s11629-020-6153-9
Abstract: South Sinai includes Egypt’s highest mountains that resemble an ecological island surrounded by desert. The present study aims to analyse the vegetation physiognomy along the altitudinal and environmental gradients in the main wadi beds in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.108088
Abstract: Abstract We developed and compared the performance of freshwater benthic diatom indices calculated from (i) traditional morphological species identification, (ii) Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) obtained via DNA metabarcoding, and (iii) morphological traits to indicate eutrophication… 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.

The influence of environmental gradients on individual behaviour: Individual plasticity is consistent across risk and temperature gradients

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12935
Abstract: The expression of individual behaviour as a function of environmental variation (behavioural plasticity) is recognized as a means for animals to modify their phenotypes in response to changing conditions. Plasticity has been studied extensively in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13190
Abstract: Long-standing theory predicts herbivores and predators should drive selection for increased plant defences, such as the specific production of volatile organic compounds for attracting predators near the site of damage. Along elevation gradients, a general… read more here.

Abstract: Soil communities are intricately linked to ecosystem functioning, and a predictive understanding of how communities assemble in response to environmental change is of great ecological importance. Little is known about the assembly processes governing abundant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16435
Abstract: Understanding the cumulative effects of multiple stressors on biodiversity is key to managing their impacts. Stressor interactions are often studied using an additive/antagonistic/synergistic typology, aimed at identifying situations where individual stressor effects are reduced or… read more here.
