The evolution of thermal performance in native and invasive populations of Mimulus guttatus

This study examines thermal performance curves in native and invasive populations of Mimulus guttatus to test hypotheses about thermal adaptation during invasion.

A resurrection study reveals limited evolution of thermal performance in response to recent climate change across the geographic range of the scarlet monkeyflower

This study uses a resurrection experiment to test thermal adaptation in Mimulus cardinalis across its geographic range, finding limited evolution in response to recent climate change.

Community turnover by composition and climatic affinity across scales in an alpine system

The paper examines community turnover in alpine plants across elevation gradients at multiple scales, finding strong environmental sorting at broad scales and microclimatic influences at finer scales.

Additive genetic variance for lifetime fitness and the capacity for adaptation in an annual plant

The paper estimates additive genetic variance for lifetime fitness and its relation to adaptation capacity in wild Chamaecrista fasciculata populations over three years.

Demographic compensation does not rescue populations at a trailing range edge

This study shows that demographic compensation does not prevent population decline at trailing range edges of scarlet monkeyflower due to reduced survival, growth, and recruitment despite increased reproduction.
