Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Abstract Climate and land‐use change are dramatically altering the frequency, intensity, and extent of ecological disturbances, which threaten the persistence of at‐risk species. To curb the pace and scale of disturbances, balance management and conservation priorities, and alleviate associated population declines, managers require high‐quality ...

Comanthera elegans, an ecologically important species in rocky grasslands, is projected to face significant habitat loss under future climate change scenarios. Modeling with the Maxent algorithm showed that its suitable habitats, defined by high rainfall seasonality and moderate temperatures, are at risk, especially under high greenhouse gas emissions.

Habitat‐Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) in the Northeastern United States
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...
