Trait evolution linked to climatic shifts contributes to adaptive divergence in an alpine carnation (Dianthus sylvestris)

This study shows that climatic shifts drive adaptive divergence in Dianthus sylvestris by shaping life-history strategies through selection on growth and reproductive traits at different elevations.

Life history traits mediate elevational adaptation in a perennial alpine plant

This study shows how life history traits mediate elevational adaptation in Dianthus carthusianorum through genotype x environment interactions and trade-offs between reproduction and survival.

Sequential colonization events with restricted gene flow in a widespread European carnation species

This study investigates the colonization history of Dianthus carthusianorum using genome-wide SNPs and ABC-RF to reveal sequential East-West colonization events with restricted gene flow.

Unravelling drivers of local adaptation through Evolutionary Functional-Structural Plant modelling

This study develops an evolutionary functional-structural plant model to investigate the drivers of local adaptation in Dianthus carthusianorum along elevation gradients, finding abiotic factors predominantly drive adaptation.

Climate-induced range shifts drive adaptive response via spatio-temporal sorting of alleles

The paper shows that climate-induced range shifts in Dianthus sylvestris led to adaptive responses through spatio-temporal sorting of alleles during post-glacial expansions.

Polygenic routes lead to parallel altitudinal adaptation in Heliosperma pusillum (Caryophyllaceae)

The paper investigates parallel altitudinal adaptation in Heliosperma pusillum by analyzing gene expression divergence across ecotype pairs and finds a polygenic architecture underlying adaptive traits.

Identifying loci under selection via explicit demographic models

This paper introduces LSD, a method to identify loci under selection by incorporating explicit demographic models, showing it outperforms existing methods and detects genetic trade-offs in Antirrhinum majus.
