Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.We tested whether the distinctive radical‐leaf morphology of the serpentine ecotype of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica is due to phenotypic plasticity or genetic differentiation. The results suggest that lamina thickening is plastic for water storage, while reduced lamina size and modified petiole traits are genetically fixed adaptations to reduce ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.We compared multiple woody and herbaceous plants growing on Japanese serpentine soils to identify common morphological responses. Leaves were generally smaller or thinner, and stomatal traits changed differently between woody and herbaceous species, reflecting low water retention.

Disturbance effects across a productivity gradient: postfire vegetation response in serpentine and non-serpentine forests in the northern Sierra Nevada (California, USA) [PDF]
, 2014 Disturbances such as wildfire play a major role in the diversity, structure, and composition of plant communities, however, little is known about the differential impacts of fire across landscapes that vary in characteristics such as soil nutrients and ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.We investigated how fruiting body morphology of the ammonia fungus Hebeloma danicum varies between serpentine and non‐serpentine soils. By comparing pileus and stipe traits across habitats, we found consistent morphological differentiation associated with serpentine environments.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT While primary forests are declining, regenerating habitats are becoming increasingly common. In fragmented environments, streams may function as corridors between forest remnants for riparian and aquatic species. However, the responses of stream‐associated species to forest regeneration remain understudied.

Phenotypic plasticity is broadly adaptive across an elevation gradient in the Cutleaf Monkeyflower
New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 4, Page 1645-1659, November 2026.Leaf shape plasticity expression is variable in Mimulus laciniatus. Summary Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which organisms cope with environmental heterogeneity, but its evolutionary consequences depend on how plastic responses align with the broader adaptive landscape.

Whole‐genome duplication promotes phenotypic and genetic adaptation to elevation
New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 4, Page 1620-1631, November 2026.Fitness of diploids (2x) and tetraploids (4x) of Biscutella laevigata from low (circles) and high (triangles) elevation transplanted across elevation at 585, 1236 and 1967 m above sea level. Summary Whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is often considered as either an adaptive dead‐end or a facilitator of rapid adaptation under changing environments.
