Selection on early survival does not explain germination rate clines in Mimulus cardinalis
Many traits covary with environmental gradients to form phenotypic clines. While local adaptation to the environment can generate …

Core arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are predicted by their high abundance–occupancy relationship while host‐specific taxa are rare and geographically structured
Habitat restoration may depend on the recovery of plant microbial symbionts such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, but this …

Quantitative trait locus mapping reveals an independent genetic basis for joint divergence in leaf function, life‐history, and floral traits between scarlet monkeyflower (Mimulus cardinalis) populations
Across taxa, vegetative and floral traits that vary along a fast-slow life-history axis are often correlated with leaf functional …
