Herbivory as a continuous state variable in an IPM: Increasing herbivory decreases population growth of Asclepias syriaca through its effects on clonal reproduction Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-18 Harmony J. Dalgleish, Abigail A.R. Kula, Sivan S. Yair, Ivan Munkres, Joshua Mutterperl, Soren Struckman, M. Drew LaMar
Herbivory is among the most well-studied biotic interactions, yet most studies do not incorporate effects on both sexual and clonal plant reproduction or the consequences of different amounts of tissue lost, i.e., herbivory severity. We address both of these gaps using a novel extension of an Integral Projection Model of that uses both plant size and herbivory severity as continuous predictors of ramet

Intraspecific trait variability: Herbs are not just small trees Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-13 J. Martínková, A. Klimeš, J. Klimešová
Intraspecific trait variability has been identified as a possible reason why the trait-based approach in functional ecology is not as predictive as we would like. However, sources of intraspecific variability are not only largely acknowledged responses to the environmental gradients, but also the intrinsic effects due to seasonal and ontogenetic development. Yet, the effect of seasonal and ontogenetic

Combining the resurrection approach with transplant experiments to investigate adaptation of plant populations to environmental change Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-05 Pascal Karitter, Martí March-Salas, Andreas Ensslin, Robert Rauschkolb, Sandrine Godefroid, J.F. Scheepens
Recent climatic changes, such as more frequent droughts and heatwaves, can lead to rapid evolutionary adaptations in plant populations. Such rapid evolution can be investigated using the resurrection approach by comparing plants raised from stored ancestral and contemporary seeds from the same population. This approach has so far only been used in common garden experiments, allowing to reveal genetic

Elevational range limits in naturalized Rumex conglomeratus likely formed by climate and lack of local adaptation Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-19 Jennifer L. Bufford, Philip E. Hulme
One of the fundamental questions in ecology is why species occur in some areas and not in others. Range limits, the boundaries between a species’ presence and absence, reflect the interplay of dispersal and population dynamics driven by biotic and abiotic conditions. As a result, range limits may shift as dispersal barriers are removed, climates change, and local species composition is altered, but

Efforts to understand the mechanisms explaining the relationship between abiotic stress tolerance and range size and filling have hitherto yielded contradictory results. Unlike previous studies that have focused on single stress factors, we here examine the extent to which range size and filling can be explained by tolerance of multiple abiotic stressors (cold, shade, drought and waterlogging).

Trait interactions effects on tropical tree demography depend on the environmental context Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-04-29 Vitor de A. Kamimura, Priscilla de P. Loiola, Carlos P. Carmona, Marco A. Assis, Carlos A. Joly, Flavio A.M. Santos, Simone A. Vieira, Luciana F. Alves, Valéria F. Martins, Eliana Ramos, Rafael F. Ramos, Francesco de Bello
Although functional traits are defined based on their impact on demographic parameters, trait-demography relationships are often reported as weak. These weak relationships might be due to disregarding trait interactions and environmental contexts, which should modulate species trait-demography relationships. We applied different models, including boosted regression tree (BRT) models, to investigate

Anther smut pathogens as important drivers of population dynamics of long-lived perennial plants: A case study of Dianthus carthusianorum Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-03-29 Klára Koupilová, Tomáš Koubek, Marek Kasner, Zdeněk Janovský
Pollinator-transmitted pathogens typically hinder sexual reproduction of their hosts and affect pollen flow among remaining healthy individuals in a population. The extent to which a pathogen also influences host’s population growth depends on the importance of sexual reproduction for the host’s life cycle. Such pathogen impact cannot be traced by measuring only the vital rates directly affected by

Evolutionary footprints of cold adaptation in arctic-alpine Cochlearia (Brassicaceae) – Evidence from freezing experiments and electrolyte leakage Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-03-16 Karolin Eisenschmid, Sarina Jabbusch, Marcus A. Koch
As global warming progresses, plants may be forced to adapt to drastically changing environmental conditions. Arctic-alpine plants have been among the first to experience the effects of climate change. As a result, cold acclimation and freezing tolerance may become increasingly crucial for the survival as winter warming events and earlier snowmelt will cause increased exposure to occasional frost.

Inbreeding depression changes with stress response over time in flooded Mimulus guttatus Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-06 Tobias M. Sandner, Anna Dotzert, Florian Gerken, Diethart Matthies
Inbreeding usually reduces offspring fitness (‘inbreeding depression’, ID), and may affect the plasticity of functional traits involved in the response to stress. ID is often found to increase under stress, but there are also reports of no effects or even a reduction of ID under stress. One reason for this variation that has received little attention may be related to different concepts of stress.

Origin, early expansion, domestication and anthropogenic diffusion of Cannabis, with emphasis on Europe and the Iberian Peninsula Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2022-04-01 Valentí Rull
Cannabis is among the oldest human domesticates and has been subjected to intensive artificial (human-mediated) selection throughout history to create a wide array of varieties and biotypes for diverse uses, including fiber, food, biofuel, medicine and drugs. This paper briefly reviews the available literature on the taxonomy, evolutionary origin and domestication of this plant, as well as its worldwide

Assessment of weed invasion at bait sites in a Central European lower montane zone Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2022-03-15 Katalin Rusvai, Dénes Saláta, Dominika Falvai, Szilárd Czóbel
The effects of wild game feeding on the local environment have been widely investigated in northern European countries but have received little consideration in Central Europe. Bait sites, that is, places where food is set out to entice wild boar for hunting are becoming ever more widespread, and they are having an increasing impact on surrounding vegetation. The aim of the present study was to assess

From continental Asia into the world: Global historical biogeography of the saltbush genus Atriplex (Chenopodieae, Chenopodioideae, Amaranthaceae) Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2022-01-19 A. Žerdoner Čalasan, S. Hammen, A.P. Sukhorukov, J.T. McDonald, N.F. Brignone, T. Böhnert, G. Kadereit
Atriplex is the most species-rich genus of Amaranthaceae and one of the largest C4 clades in eudicots. Distributed predominantly in the arid subtropical and temperate regions worldwide, many Atriplex species dominate the plant communities of harsh and inhospitable inland and coastal habitats. Current threats of aridification and salinisation increase the ecological and economic value of this highly

A unique diploid – triploid contact zone provides insights into the evolutionary mechanisms of cytotype coexistence in flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus) Perspect. Plant Ecol. Evol. Syst. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2022-01-06 Martin Čertner, Jan Rydlo, Matej Dudáš, Zdenka Hroudová
Polyploidisation is an important evolutionary force in land plants. Due to its recurrent incidence, many plant species retain individuals of two or more different ploidy levels. However, particular ecological and evolutionary mechanisms facilitating intraspecific cytotype coexistence have been identified for just a handful of species and cannot yet be generalised. Our pilot data have revealed a unique
