ABSTRACT Mountain ranges like the European Alps harbour large endemic biodiversity shaped by Pleistocene climatic oscillations. The flightless bush‐cricket Anonconotus italoaustriacus, endemic to the Southern Limestone Alps (SLA) and the eastern Central Alps (CA), provides an ideal model to study the evolutionary and refugial dynamics of endemic alpine

Temperature‐dependent pollinator‐mediated selection on floral thermoregulation
Summary The thermal environment is one of the most pervasive agents of selection. Most plants cannot choose their microclimate, so understanding how they cope with thermal variability is of critical concern. Several floral traits can modify the floral thermal microenvironment, which may alleviate negative impacts of thermal extremes on gametophytes and

Supporting dryland restoration success with applied ecological forecasting of seeding outcomes
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration is increasingly used to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services. In drylands of the western United States (US), post‐disturbance restoration often involves seeding treatments to promote the recovery of native plant communities. Spatial and temporal variability in environmental conditions influences plant

A New Climatology of Continentality Based on Lagrangian Air Mass Travel Times From the Ocean
Abstract Climate classifications such as the Köppen classification have a long tradition and wide fields of application. An important classification aspect is continentality, for which we present a new metric based on Lagrangian dispersion model calculations.
