Testing Range-Limit Hypotheses Using Range-Wide Habitat Suitability and Occupancy for the Scarlet Monkeyflower (Erythranthe cardinalis)

Angert, A. L., Bayly, M., Sheth, S. N., & Paul, J. R. (2017, December 28). The American Naturalist, Vol. 191, pp. E76–E89.

By: A. Angert*, M. Bayly*, S. Sheth* & J. Paul*

author keywords: dispersal limitation; ecological niche model; elevation gradient; latitudinal gradient; species distribution model
topics (OpenAlex): Species Distribution and Climate Change; Plant and animal studies; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
TL;DR: This work built ecological niche models relating occurrence records for the scarlet monkeyflower to climatic variables and applied these models to independent data from systematic, range-wide surveys of presence and absence to estimate the availability and occupancy of climatically suitable habitat, finding that fitness limitation predominated over dispersal limitation, but disperseal limitation also played a role at the poleward edge.

Artificial Selection Reveals High Genetic Variation in Phenology at the Trailing Edge of a Species Range

Sheth, S. N., & Angert, A. L. (2015, November 23). The American Naturalist, Vol. 187, pp. 182–193.

By: S. Sheth* & A. Angert*

Contributors: S. Sheth* & A. Angert*

author keywords: artificial selection; evolutionary potential; flowering time; functional traits; Mimulus; range limits
MeSH headings : Climate Change; Flowers / growth & development; Genetic Variation; Mimulus / genetics; Mimulus / growth & development; Phenotype; Plant Dispersal; Selection, Genetic
topics (OpenAlex): Species Distribution and Climate Change; Plant and animal studies; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
TL;DR: Contrary to prediction, southern populations exhibited greater responses to selection on flowering time than central or northern populations, and selection for early flowering resulted in correlated increases in specific leaf area and leaf nitrogen, whereas selection for late flowering led to decreases in these traits.

THE EVOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOLERANCE AND RANGE SIZE: A COMPARISON OF GEOGRAPHICALLY RESTRICTED AND WIDESPREADMIMULUS

Sheth, S. N., & Angert, A. L. (2014, July 25). Evolution.

By: S. Sheth* & A. Angert*

Contributors: S. Sheth* & A. Angert*

author keywords: Climatic variability hypothesis; geographic range size; genetic variation; niche breadth; specialist-generalist trade-offs; thermal performance curve
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Biological Evolution; Climate; Ecosystem; Genetic Variation; Geography; Mimulus / classification; Mimulus / genetics; North America; Temperature
topics (OpenAlex): Species Distribution and Climate Change; Plant and animal studies; Physiological and biochemical adaptations
TL;DR: Five pairs of western North American monkeyflowers were used to experimentally test the niche breadth hypothesis and predicted that species with broader thermal tolerances had larger geographic ranges and had more within‐population genetic variation in thermal reaction norms and experienced greater thermal variation across their geographic ranges than species with narrow thermal tolerance.
