Drivers of thermal tolerance breadth of plants across contrasting biomes

V. F. Briceno, P. A. Arnold, A. M. Cook, S. K. Courtney Jones, R. V. Gallagher, K. French, L. A. Bravo, A. B. Nicotra, A. Leigh

This study examines how climate variability affects thermal tolerance in plants across three biomes, finding that thermal variability increases cold tolerance but not heat tolerance.

Testing the evolutionary potential of an alpine plant: Phenotypic plasticity in response to growth temperature far outweighs parental environmental effects and other genetic causes of variation

P. A. Arnold, S. Wang, R. F. Notarnicola, A. B. Nicotra, L. E. B. Kruuk

This study quantifies phenotypic plasticity and genetic variation in Wahlenbergia ceracea, finding strong plastic responses to growth temperature over parental effects and genetic variation.

Elevation-dependent patterns of snow-gum dieback are moderated by trait differences between montane and subalpine forests.

C. Bryant, M. C. Ball, J. O. Borevitz, M. T. Brookhouse, H. Carle, P. Cunningham, M. Davey, J. Davies, A. Eason, J. D. Erskine, T. I. Fuenzalida, D. Grishin, R. Harris, J. Kriticos, A. Midson, , H. Bothwell

The paper examines elevation-dependent patterns of snow-gum dieback and finds trait differences between montane and subalpine subspecies influence borer-damage severity.

A high-throughput method for measuring critical thermal limits of leaves by chlorophyll imaging fluorescence

P. A. Arnold, V. F. Briceno, K. M. Gowland, A. A. Catling, L. A. Bravo, A. B. Nicotra

The paper develops a high-throughput method to measure critical thermal limits of leaves using chlorophyll fluorescence, finding that heating/cooling rates and leaf surface conditions affect these thresholds.
