Divergent selection in Mediterranean pine stands on localspatial scales

The paper investigates divergent selection in Mediterranean pine stands on local spatial scales, identifying adaptive loci and allele frequency differences despite high gene flow.

Wildfires change plant scents but not pollinator attraction in a Mediterranean palm

This study shows wildfires alter plant scents but not pollinator attraction in a Mediterranean palm, suggesting pollinators' flexible responses may enhance plant resilience.

A stable pollination environment limits current but not potential evolution of floral traits

The study shows that a stable pollination environment leads to evolutionary stasis in floral traits due to stabilizing selection and low heritability, but maintains heritable variation for future adaptation.

Global Root Traits (GRooT) Database

The paper creates the Global Root Trait (GRooT) Database to integrate root trait data into large-scale analyses by standardizing and curating root trait records from diverse studies.
