Snow melt timing acts independently and in conjunction with temperature accumulation to drive subalpine plant phenology
Jerome, D. K., Petry, W. K., Mooney, K. A., & Iler, A. M. (2021, July 29). GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, Vol. 7.
author keywords: climate change; flower duration; flower timing; fruit duration; fruit timing; growing degree days; passive warming; subalpine plant community
MeSH headings : Climate Change; Flowers; Plants; Seasons; Snow; Temperature
TL;DR:
Despite marked responses of phenology to climate manipulations, the species showed little change in reproductive success, with only one species producing fewer seeds in response to warming, and the results show that one environmental cue, here snow melt timing, may act through multiple mechanisms to shift phenology.

Global gene flow releases invasive plants from environmental constraints on genetic diversity
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(8), 4218–4227.
author keywords: plant invasion; adaptation; global change; population genetics; demography
MeSH headings : Demography; Gene Flow; Genetic Variation; Introduced Species; Phylogeny; Plantago / chemistry; Plantago / genetics
TL;DR:
It is found that long-distance dispersal and repeated introductions by humans have shaped adaptive potential in a globally distributed invasive species, highlighting the need to constrain future introductions of species even if they already exist in an area.

2018 journal article
A competition–defence trade‐off both promotes and weakens coexistence in an annual plant community
Journal of Ecology, 106(5), 1806–1818.
Ed(s): I. Bartomeus
author keywords: annual plant; coexistence; competition; competition-defence trade-off; fitness hierarchy; granivory; harvester ant; seed depot
TL;DR:
The results show that the presence of a competition–defence trade‐off in a community with stabilising niche differences does not always increase diversity and suggest that variation in consumer pressure may be an important driver of large‐scale diversity patterns.

Global predation pressure redistribution under future climate change
Nature Climate Change, 8(12), 1087–1091.
TL;DR:
A global experiment using model caterpillars shows that climate explains patterns of predation better than latitude or elevation alone, and predation pressure is found to be greater under higher temperatures and more stable climatic conditions.

Elevational Gradients in Plant Defences and Insect Herbivory: Recent Advances in the Field and Prospects for Future Research
Ecography, 41(9), 1485–1496.
author keywords: abiotic factors; climate change; community ecology; diversity; ecological gradients; insect herbivory; plant defences; tritrophic interactions
TL;DR:
It is concluded that the next generation of studies should embrace community complexity – including multi‐trophic dynamics and the multivariate nature of plant defence – and to do so by combining observational data, manipulative experiments and emerging analytical tools.

TL;DR:
It is shown how weak indirect effects on predators and parasitoids (via herbivores) can be complemented by strong direct effects via common plant traits (floral resources) in contrast to the prediction of diminished plant genetic effects with increasing trophic level.
