There is growing interest in quantifying genetic population structure across the geographical
ranges of species to understand why species might exhibit stable range limits and to assess …

Many species’ range limits (RL) occur across continuous environmental gradients without
obvious barriers imposing them. Such RL are expected to reflect niche limits (NL) and thus to …

The assurance of reproduction when outcrossing is unpredictable is a venerable and widely
invoked explanation for uniparental reproduction via self-fertilization or asexuality. This …

Introduced species frequently show geographic differentiation, and when differentiation
mirrors the ancestral range, it is often taken as evidence of adaptive evolution. The mouse‐ear …

It is widely accepted that species are most abundant at the center of their geographic ranges
and become progressively rarer toward range limits. Although the abundant center model (…

• Dispersal may be favoured at geographic range edges by unstable population and
metapopulation dynamics. However, dispersal may also evolve in response to geographic variation …

Background and Aims Plants vary widely in the extent to which seeds are produced via self-fertilization
vs. outcrossing, and evolutionary change in the mating system is thought to be …

Using seasonal cues to time reproduction appropriately is crucial for many organisms. Plants
in particular often use photoperiod to signal the time to transition to flowering. Because …

Premise Determining how species perform in novel climatic environments is essential for
understanding (1) responses to climate change and (2) evolutionary consequences of …

A species is expected to occur where the prevailing biotic and abiotic conditions fall within its
fundamental niche. Geographic range limits should, therefore, occur when the survival and …
