Adaptation to marginal habitats at the rear edge provides resilience to future warming

This study shows rear-edge populations of Campanula americana have adapted to warm climates by reducing vernalization needs, which may help them survive future warming.

The legacy of past climate warming: strong local adaptation in rear-edge populations

The study tests three evolutionary outcomes in rear-edge populations of Campanula americana, finding strong local adaptation despite reduced genetic diversity and limited drift load.

Heterogeneous evolutionary history defines the rear edge of the North American herb Campanula americana

This study examines the genetic and climatic variation at the warm range edge of Campanula americana, revealing heterogeneous refugial histories and genetic structure among populations.

Shifts in vernalization and phenology at the rear edge hold insight into adaptation of temperate plants to future milder winters

The paper studies how rear-edge populations of Campanula americana have adapted to shorter winters by analyzing vernalization requirements and reproductive phenology.
