Identifying quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs), the genetic polymorphisms linked to phenotypic variation, has become a goal for many plant ecologists and evolutionary biologists in recent years.

Exotic plant species impact belowground processes by influencing resource availability through enhanced microbial activity as a consequence of litter inputs. We have little understanding of the

The potential risks of genetically modified crops must be identified before their commercialization. In this context, several studies have reported the transfer of transgenes from transgenic

In the study of geographic range boundary development, the focus has been on leading rather than on trailing edge dynamics. This is an important caveat as
