Canalized to heat, plastic to cold: adaptive coordination of leaf and seed strategies in populations spanning an elevational gradient. [PDF]
Summary In tropical mountains, surviving temperature extremes demands finely tuned strategies. We investigated how populations of the bromeliad Pitcairnia flammea across a 2200 m elevational gradient balance genetic canalization and plasticity, and whether thermal strategies are coordinated between seeds and leaves.

Linking environmental adaptation and genetic structure to the biogeography of flower colour lineages in Lysimachia monelli (Primulaceae). [PDF]
Flower colour differences in the Mediterranean plant Lysimachia monelli are linked to distinct genetic lineages with geographic separation and varying environmental niches. Abstract Reproductive traits such as flower colour can have a profound influence on the diversification of plant species, making understanding their evolutionary ramifications one ...
