Forest production responses to irrigation and fertilization are not explained by shifts in allocation
Production increases in intensively managed forests have been obtained by improving resource availability through water and nutrient amendments. Increased stem production has been attributed to shifts in growth from roots to shoot, and such shifts would have important implications for belowground carbon sequestration. We examined above and belowground growth and biomass accumulation and distrib...
متن کاملHeterogeneous genomic differentiation between walking-stick ecotypes: "isolation by adaptation" and multiple roles for divergent selection.
Genetic differentiation can be highly variable across the genome. For example, loci under divergent selection and those tightly linked to them may exhibit elevated differentiation compared to neutral regions. These represent "outlier loci" whose differentiation exceeds neutral expectations. Adaptive divergence can also increase genome-wide differentiation by promoting general barriers to neutra...
متن کاملProcessing Capacity Limits Are Not Explained by Storage Limits
Cowan’s review shows that a short-term memory limit of four items is consistent with a wide range of phenomena in the field. However he does not explain that limit, whereas an existing theory does offer an explanation for capacity limitations. Furthermore processing capacity limits cannot be reduced to storage limits as Cowan claims. In his excellent review, Cowan concludes that short term memo...
متن کاملDivergent Selection and ThenWhat Not: The Conundrum ofMissing Reproductive Isolation in Misty Lake and Stream Stickleback
In ecological speciation, reproductive isolation evolves as a consequence of adaptation to different selective environments. A frequent contributor to this process is the evolution of positive assortativemate choice between ecotypes.We tested this expectation for lake and inlet stream threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from the Misty system (Vancouver Island, Canada), which show st...
متن کاملDivergence in an obligate mutualism is not explained by divergent climatic factors.
Adaptation to divergent environments creates and maintains biological diversity, but we know little about the importance of different agents of ecological divergence. Coevolution in obligate mutualisms has been hypothesized to drive divergence, but this contention has rarely been tested against alternative ecological explanations. Here, we use a well-established example of coevolution in an obl...
