Pollination studies often use visitation frequency of potential pollinators as an indicator of their importance, but this is only one component and may not reflect actual

Ecological restoration is often conducted with limited consideration of genetic diversity and the environmental factors that drive variation within species. In a new study published in

Invasive species are a threat to every ecosystem and thus there is a strong incentive to predict which species will become invasive before they become too

Offspring phenotypes may be altered by environments that their parents lived in.These environmentally-induced trans-generational effects may be mediated by epigenetic mechanisms such as

Calcium (Ca) and the toxic heavy metal cadmium (Cd) are antagonistic ions competing for uptake in plants when they co-occur in soil solutions, and high

Phylogeography above the species level is a powerful tool for investigating patterns and processes at the boundary between divergent and reticulate relationships. In a new study

Both phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation may allow widely distributed plant species to either acclimate or adapt to environmental heterogeneity. Given the typically low genetic variation

Many plant-eating insects have developed the ability to eat plants that synthesize toxins, which they use to defend themselves against herbivores. While these specialized insects
