Book
Plant Evolution in the Mediterranean
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the evolution of endemism from population differentiation to species divergence to variation, adaptation, and dispersal in the Mediterranean mosaic and themes, objectives, and structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolutionary dynamics of polyploid plants: origins, establishment and persistence.
TL;DR: The role of polyploidy in the origin of evolutionary novelty and the maintenance of diversity in plant populations has come to be recognized as an integral component of the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of plant species populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic plasticity as a component of evolutionary change.
TL;DR: It is now clear that genotypes that perform best in one environment usually perform less well than other genotypes in a different environment; hence, their greater response is not an adaptation to environmental variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biology and ecology of narrow endemic and widespread plants: a comparative study of trait variation in 20 congeneric pairs
TL;DR: Morphological and ecophysiological traits of narrow endemic species indicate that they are not more stress-tolerant than their widespread congeners, and lower investment in pollen transfer and seed production suggest that local persistence is a key feature of the population ecology ofarrow endemic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE VARIATION IN MONOTERPENE CO-OCCURRENCE AND COMPOSITION IN THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF Thymus vulgaris CHEMOTYPES
TL;DR: The quantitative variation among T. vulgaris populations in the percentage of oil composed of the dominant monoterpene(s) for each chemotype suggests that a plant with dominant genes is responsible for the production of different monoterpenes can produce several molecules.
