The paper tests how drought responses in Mimulus guttatus vary across its range, finding that climate and life history traits, not stomatal regulation, predict survival under drought.

The paper identifies genetic factors maintaining phenotypic divergence in two hybridizing monkeyflower species despite low reproductive isolation.

The paper investigates genetic repeatability in high altitude adaptation of Mimulus plants, finding that while phenotypic modules are repeated, genetic architecture is largely non-repeatable.

The paper investigates how parental conflict and introgression contribute to hybrid seed inviability in the Mimulus guttatus species complex, showing geographic patterns of reproductive isolation that transcend species boundaries.

The paper sequences 133 Physalia genomes and analyzes citizen-science images to reveal five distinct lineages and four species, with geographic population structure and long-distance dispersal.
