Resilience for restoration: Insights from the Northern Great Plains native seed system

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Native plants are essential to ecological restoration and culturally important to local and Tribal communities, yet native seed systems across the United States (US) struggle to meet restoration demand. In the US Northern Great Plains, land conversion of native ecosystems means restoration potential is high but constrained by an underdeveloped

Genomic insights into the origin of ecotypes

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution
A century ago, Göte Turesson introduced the ecotype concept to describe populations of species that are phenotypically and genetically differentiated by adaptation to contrasting habitats. His simple idea—that ecological divergence can occur below the species level—has had lasting influence, inspiring experimental tests of local adaptation across taxa.

Replaying Evolution to Test the Cause of Extinction of One Ecotype in an Experimentally Evolved Population. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In a long-term evolution experiment with Escherichia coli, bacteria in one of twelve populations evolved the ability to consume citrate, a previously unexploited resource in a glucose-limited medium.

Knock‐knock, who is inside? Exploiting citizen science data to shed light on Aedes albopictus indoor presence in southern Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal behaviour in human‐dominated landscapes is difficult to study at large spatial and temporal scales, especially for small species characterised by elusive movements. Citizen science can help overcome these limitations by turning routine human–animal encounters into observations of where and when species are active.

Plant community response to regional sources of dominant grasses in grasslands restored across a longitudinal gradient

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Restorations in the light of climate change will need to take into account whether or not sources of the dominant plants are adapted to the future conditions at a site.

Recombination does not hinder formation or detection of ecological species of Synechococcus inhabiting a hot spring cyanobacterial mat

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Recent studies of bacterial speciation have claimed to support the biological species concept—that reduced recombination is required for bacterial populations to diverge into species.

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...
