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.

This study shows that regional gene-environment association models provide more informative insights into climate adaptation agents and targets than range-wide models in Mimulus guttatus.

PolliCrop is a computer vision pipeline that detects and identifies flower-visiting insects on sunflower plants, showing accurate performance in predicting visitation frequencies across genotypes.

SeedMeasure quantifies seed size and morphology from images, offering a fast, open-source, and cross-platform tool validated across nine species.

The paper develops a statistical method to detect genomic structural variation using genetic mapping data from Mimulus guttatus crosses, correcting reference genome errors and identifying chromosomal inversions.

The paper shows adaptation to copper-contaminated environments in Mimulus guttatus occurs through selection on pre-existing genetic variation rather than new mutations.
