Local adaptation to an altitudinal gradient: the interplay between mean phenotypic trait variation and phenotypic plasticity in Mimulus laciniatus

This study examines how mean phenotypic trait variation and phenotypic plasticity in Mimulus laciniatus relate to local adaptation along an altitudinal gradient.

Spatially and temporally varying selection influence species boundaries in two sympatric Mimulus

The paper examines how spatial and temporal selection influences divergence between two Mimulus species under varying water availability conditions.

Differential Adaptation to a Harsh Granite Outcrop Habitat between Sympatric Mimulus Species

This study compares adaptation to a harsh granite outcrop habitat between two sympatric Mimulus species, finding that drought and herbivory drive survival differences and that different traits confer fitness in each environment.
