  1. Genetic and ecological divergence in Pinus flexilis-Pinus strobiformis-Pinus ayacahuite species complex: Clues to understanding speciation in pines

    North America is a secondary center of diversification of the genus Pinus. Most of these speciation events are fairly recent, producing a pattern of widespread shared polymorphism and fuzzy species boundaries. Among five-needle pines, the relationships among Pinus flexilis, Pinus strobiformis, and Pinus ayacahuite have been particularly difficult to determine. To...

  2. Contrasting climate niches among co-occurring subdominant forbs of the sagebrush steppe

    Aim: Abiotic conditions are key components that determine the distribution of species. However, co-occurring species can respond differently to the same factors, and determining which climate components are most predictive of geographic distributions is important for understanding community response to climate change. Here, we estimate and compare climate niches of ten...

  3. Projected impacts of climate change on the range and phenology of three culturally-important shrub species

    Climate change is shifting both the habitat suitability and the timing of critical biological events, such as flowering and fruiting, for plant species across the globe. Here, we ask how both the distribution and phenology of three food-producing shrubs native to northwestern North America might shift as the climate changes. To address this question, we compared...
