The paper investigates how ancestral plasticity contributes to adaptive evolution in two independently evolved lineages of zinc-tolerant Silene uniflora, finding that genetic assimilation of ancestral plasticity explains a third of constitutive differences between ecotypes.

The paper introduces fauxcurrence, a tool to generate null species occurrence data for biogeography and species distribution modeling, showing it outperforms existing methods in capturing spatial structure.

This study shows that Silene uniflora rapidly adapted to zinc-contaminated soils without gene flow, revealing complex genetic responses to anthropogenic pollution.

This study uses genetic data to show that many rare Madagascan plant species have experienced recent population declines, suggesting extinction risk can be predicted from demographic patterns, even with limited data.

The paper investigates how trait evolution and historical biogeography influence species assemblages in annual killifish, finding that size variation originated in one area and spread to others with varying ecological impacts.
