Environmental gradients mediate dispersal evolution during biological invasions

J. W. Benning, E. I. Clark, R. A. Hufbauer, C. Weiss-Lehman

The paper models how environmental gradients affect dispersal evolution during biological invasions, finding that gradients can reduce dispersal and increase invasion predictability.

Rapid evolution in response to climate-change-induced drought and its demographic and genetic controls

J. W. Benning, A. Faulkner, D. A. Moeller

The paper investigates why one population of Clarkia xantiana evolved earlier flowering while another did not during a drought, finding that stronger seed banks in the non-evolving population caused evolutionary stasis.

The spatial scale of adaptation in a native annual plant and its implications for responses to climate change

A. Gorton, J. W. Benning, P. Tiffin, D. Moeller

This study examines the spatial scale of local adaptation in common ragweed using common gardens and finds large adaptation scales with maladaptation in southern regions.

Increasing temporal variance leads to stable species range limits

J. W. Benning, R. A. Hufbauer, C. Weiss-Lehman

The paper shows that temporal environmental variation affects species range limits by altering population expansion or extinction based on temporal autocorrelation and spatial gradients.

Seed predation increases from the Arctic to the Equator and from high to low elevations

A. L. Hargreaves, E. Suarez, K. Mehltreter, I. Myers-Smith, S. E. Vanderplank, H. L. Slinn, Y. L. Vargas-Rodriguez, S. Haeussler, S. David, J. Munoz, R. C. Almazan Nunez, D. Loughnan, J. W. Benning, D. A. Moeller, J. F. Brodie, , P. A. Morales M

The paper finds that post-dispersal seed predation increases from the Arctic to the Equator and from high to low elevations, driven by climate seasonality rather than productivity or biodiversity.
