Phenotypic plasticity is broadly adaptive across an elevation gradient in the Cutleaf Monkeyflower

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
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.

Ecological determinants of stability in dryland plant communities

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework for partitioning the drivers of community stability. Summary Community stability is often presented as crucial for sustaining ecosystem services under environmental change. Yet, its determinants (dominance, asynchrony in species fluctuations, averaging effect of species diversity) have rarely been disentangled in natural systems ...

Coupled decline in growth and fine‐branching signals the onset of drought‐induced European beech mortality

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual synthesis of drought‐induced mortality in European beech. Summary Severe and recurrent droughts have caused widespread canopy decline and mortality in European forests. Drought‐induced mortality occurs when structural damage and physiological dysfunction impair a tree's ability to recover, yet it remains unclear when trees transition from ...

Hormesis without evolution: plastic compensatory responses to herbicide drift in Oxalis stricta, a common weed of agriculture

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework linking herbicide dose–response to plant fitness outcomes under sublethal exposure. Summary Herbicide drift exposes nontarget plants to sublethal agrochemical doses, yet its ecological and evolutionary consequences remain poorly understood.

Floral adaptation and modular trait evolution associated with a shift from bee to hummingbird pollination

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...
