Grow with the flow: faster growth is associated with more variable precipitation in a perennial herb
Local adaptation is commonly observed in nature: organisms perform well in their natal environment, but poorly outside it. Correlations …

Growth capacity in wild tomatoes and relatives correlates with original climate in arid and semi-arid species
Wild tomatoes and relatives (Solanum sect. Lycopersicon, sect. Lycopersicoides and sect. Juglandifolia) constitute a recently derived …

Pervasive antagonistic interactions among hybrid incompatibility loci
Species barriers, expressed as hybrid inviability and sterility, are often due to epistatic interactions between divergent loci from …

Constraint around Quarter-Power Allometric Scaling in Wild Tomatoes ( Solanum sect. Lycopersicon ; Solanaceae)
The West-Brown-Enquist (WBE) metabolic scaling theory posits that many organismal features scale predictably with body size because of …

Making pore choices: repeated regime shifts in stomatal ratio
Ecologically important traits do not evolve without limits. Instead, evolution is constrained by the set of available and viable …

The limited contribution of reciprocal gene loss to increased speciation rates following whole-genome duplication
Hybrid incompatibilities contribute to reproductive isolation between species, allowing them to follow independent evolutionary …

Quantitative Genetic Analysis Indicates Natural Selection on Leaf Phenotypes Across Wild Tomato Species (Solanum sect. Lycopersicon ; Solanaceae)
Adaptive evolution requires both raw genetic material and an accessible path of high fitness from one fitness peak to another. In this …
