High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Southern Brazil rainfall variability
, 2008 Seasonal and annual rainfall fluctuations were studied in the Brazilian states of São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, using DNAEE (Departamento Nacional de Águas e Energia Elétrica) e DAEE (Departamento de Águas e Energia Elétrica) data, from 1960 to 1991.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Since its emergence in the Mesozoic, Sequoia (Cupressaceae) has been considered to possess conserved leaf morphology. However, recent studies have shown that the leaves of extant S. sempervirens become smaller, with a scale form, with increasing tree height.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Human activity has significantly altered the salt cycle, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion acres of soil worldwide. Elevated soil salinity is a well‐known plant stressor, but it may also affect interactions between plants and insects, which are often sodium limited.

Rainfall in Queensland: Part 2: Is the inter-annual variability in Queensland rainfall due to variability in rainfall frequency, intensity or both? [PDF]
, 2012 This report investigates the effect of changes in the number of rainy days, the amount of rain that falls on rainy days or a combination of the two on the inter-annual variations in Queensland rainfall. The objective is to determine the association between climate drivers and the occurrence of rainfall in Queensland.

The rain feels different under the same umbrella: Experiences with poverty across LGBTQ subgroups
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Population‐based survey data have demonstrated that LGBTQ communities report varying rates of economic insecurity, yet very little research directly assesses how pathways into and experiences with poverty look different among subgroups at the intersections of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).
