Journal ArticleDOI
Plant phenotypic plasticity in a changing climate
Adrienne B. Nicotra,Owen K. Atkin,Stephen P. Bonser,Amy Michelle Davidson,E.J. Finnegan,Ulrike Mathesius,Pieter Poot,Michael D. Purugganan,Christina L. Richards,Fernando Valladares,M. Van Kleunen +10 more
TL;DR: A toolbox with definitions of key theoretical elements and a synthesis of the current understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying plasticity relevant to climate change is provided to provide clear directives for future research and stimulate cross-disciplinary dialogue on the relevance of phenotypic plasticity under climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do invasive species show higher phenotypic plasticity than native species and, if so, is it adaptive? A meta‐analysis
TL;DR: The finding that invasive species are more plastic in a variety of traits but that non-invasive species respond just as well, if not better, when resources are limiting, has interesting implications for predicting responses to global change.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation on forecasts of species range shifts under climate change
Fernando Valladares,Fernando Valladares,Silvia Matesanz,François Guilhaumon,François Guilhaumon,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Luis Balaguer,Marta Benito-Garzón,William K. Cornwell,Ernesto Gianoli,Ernesto Gianoli,Mark van Kleunen,Daniel E. Naya,Adrienne B. Nicotra,Hendrik Poorter,Miguel A. Zavala +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that when population differentiation is accounted for and dispersal is restricted, forecasts of species range shifts under climate change are even more pessimistic than those using the conventional assumption of homogeneously high plasticity across a species' range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial heterogeneity of light and woody seedling regeneration in tropical wet forests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined spatial patterning in light availability and seedling regeneration in old-growth, second-growth and selectively logged stands of tropical moist forest in northeastern Costa Rica.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution and functional significance of leaf shape in the angiosperms
Adrienne B. Nicotra,Andrea Leigh,C. Kevin Boyce,Cynthia Jones,Karl J. Niklas,Dana L. Royer,Hirokazu Tsukaya +6 more
TL;DR: The evolutionary context of leaf shape diversification is reviewed, the proximal mechanisms that generate the diversity in extant systems are discussed, and the evidence for each the above hypotheses is considered in the context of the functional significance of Leaf shape.
