2022 journal article

A viewpoint on ecological and evolutionary study of plant thermal performance curves in a warming world

AOB PLANTS, 14(3).

By: R. Wooliver n, E. Vtipilthorpe n, A. Wiegmann n & S. Sheth n 

author keywords: Climate change; evolutionary ecology; genetic variation; plasticity; thermal adaptation; thermal niche; thermal performance curve; trade-off
TL;DR: Recent plant studies that use a fitness-based TPC approach to test fundamental ecological and evolutionary hypotheses are described, some of which have uncovered key drivers of climate change responses. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 journal article

Populations of western North American monkeyflowers accrue niche breadth primarily via genotypic divergence in environmental optima

ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 12(10).

By: A. Coughlin n, R. Wooliver n & S. Sheth n 

author keywords: environmental tolerance; genetic variation; Mimulus; niche optimum; specialization; thermal performance curve
TL;DR: It is suggested that populations of Mimulus species have achieved broad thermal niches primarily through genotypes with divergent thermal optima and to a lesser extent via general‐purpose genotypes. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 article

The evolution of thermal performance in native and invasive populations of Mimulus guttatus

Querns, A., Wooliver, R., Vallejo-Marin, M., & Sheth, S. N. (2022, February 13). EVOLUTION LETTERS, Vol. 2.

By: A. Querns  n, R. Wooliver n, M. Vallejo-Marin * & S. Sheth n 

author keywords: Adaptive divergence; evolutionary ecology; invasion ecology; latitudinal gradient; niche conservatism; phenotypic cline; thermal performance curve; thermal tolerance
TL;DR: It is suggested that broad thermal tolerance, rather than rapid adaptation in the novel range, may promote invasion and is tested on populations of the yellow monkeyflower. (via Semantic Scholar)

2021 article

Spatial variation in high temperature-regulated gene expression predicts evolution of plasticity with climate change in the scarlet monkeyflower

Preston, J. C., Wooliver, R., Driscoll, H., Coughlin, A., & Sheth, S. N. (2021, December 12). MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, Vol. 12.

By: J. Preston *, R. Wooliver n, H. Driscoll *, A. Coughlin n & S. Sheth n 

author keywords: climate change; differential gene expression; Mimulus cardinalis; phenotypic plasticity; space by time substitution; thermal adaptation
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Climate Change; Gene Expression; Humans; Mimulus / genetics; Temperature
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that reduced phenotypic plasticity can evolve with warming and that spatial and temporal changes in plasticity predict one another. (via Semantic Scholar)

2019 review

Changing perspectives on terrestrial nitrogen cycling: The importance of weathering and evolved resource-use traits for understanding ecosystem responses to global change

[Review of ]. FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY, 33(10), 1818–1829.

By: R. Wooliver*, A. Pellegrini *, B. Waring *, B. Houlton *, C. Averill *, J. Schimel *, L. Hedin *, J. Bailey*, J. Schweitzer *

author keywords: carbon storage; eco-evolutionary feedbacks; ecosystem processes; global change; nitrogen deposition; resource-use traits; rock nitrogen weathering
TL;DR: An eco‐evolutionary framework and revised knowledge of N cycling is described, describing how rock N weathering could have contributed more strongly to gradients in soil N availability than previously recognized and a way forward for improving biogeochemical models to more accurately estimate rates of plant production and decomposition, and total soil N.
