Local plant adaptation across a subarctic elevational gradient
Predicting how plants will respond to global warming necessitates understanding of local plant adaptation to temperature. Temperature may exert selective effects on plants directly, and also indirectly through environmental factors that covary with temperature, notably soil properties. However, studies on the interactive effects of temperature and soil properties on plant adaptation are rare, a...
متن کاملAbundance and Productivity of Warbling Vireos across an Elevational Gradient in the Sierra Nevada
Recent studies have shown that Warbling Vireos (Vireo gilvus) are declining in California and that these trends are due to low reproductive success. Brood parasitism by Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) has been implicated in the low productivity. I explored two hypotheses related to population dynamics of Warbling Vireos along an elevational gradient: (1) potential source populations exis...
متن کاملPlant and microbial responses to nitrogen and phosphorus addition across an elevational gradient in subarctic tundra.
Temperature and nutrients are major limiting factors in subarctic tundra. Experimental manipulation of nutrient availability along elevational gradients (and thus temperature) can improve our understanding of ecological responses to climate change. However, no study to date has explored impacts of nutrient addition along a tundra elevational gradient, or across contrasting vegetation types alon...
متن کاملTemporal Variation in Bird and Resource Abundance Across an Elevational Gradient in Hawaii
—We documented patterns of nectar availability and nectarivorous bird abundance over ~ years at nine study sites across an ,-m elevational gradient on Hawaii Island to investigate the relationship between resource variation and bird abundance. Flower density (flowers ha−) and nectar energy content were measured across the gradient for the monodominant `Ōhi`a (Metrosideros polymorpha). Fou...
متن کاملReplicated hybrid zones of Xiphophorus swordtails along an elevational gradient.
Natural hybrid zones provide opportunities to study a range of evolutionary phenomena from speciation to the genetic basis of fitness-related traits. We show that widespread hybridization has occurred between two neo-tropical stream fishes with partial reproductive isolation. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial sequence data showed that the swordtail fish Xiphophorus birchmanni is monophylet...
