The study examines how leaf shape plasticity affects fitness in Mimulus laciniatus across elevation gradients, finding that high-elevation plasticity benefits survival at high elevations and low-elevation plasticity enhances fecundity across elevations.

This study identifies QTL driving skeletal divergence in temperate and tropical house mice, revealing both small-effect and pleiotropic loci involved in adaptive evolution.

The paper investigates how foliar fungal symbionts vary with elevation and host species in Sierra Nevada monkeyflowers, finding associations with elevation and geographic distance.

The paper identifies genomic regions associated with photoperiod adaptation in Mimulus laciniatus using QTL analysis, finding shared and unique loci related to gibberellin pathways.

This study investigates the role of fluctuating natural selection in maintaining a hybrid zone between two monkeyflower species, finding that hybridization can be both adaptive and costly depending on environmental conditions.

The paper examines selection pressures on sympatric Monkeyflowers through reciprocal transplants, finding fluctuating short-term selection and long-term divergence in flowering time.
